Wish you made this a year ago when I bought a silk rug. I might have to email you now!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you but I'm so confused. These later rugs you're showing have the knots that are bunched.

Since inheriting a beautiful huge old hand knotted carpet I've become addicted to viewing your channel. I can easily see why Persian rugs are obsessively collected, the beauty and skill involved in creating them is mindboggling. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, its much appreciated.

how much would a piece on the right cost?

I want to work with you

My son spotted a signature on our carpet recently. My husband bought it while he was working in Kuwait. At that time it was estimated to be over 50 yrs old. Researching the signature is challenging.

Excelent!

What is the status of the Jamshidi workshop? Are they active and strong? Do they have a good future ahead?

Great content Mike! May I ask what does the signature say? Does it just mean hereke? I have a rug with the same signature.

Hi, I have an old BIjar Rug, can I send you a pic of it, so you can tell me if it is really a Bijar, and how old could it be?

Hi Mike. Thanks very much for making these videos, I've been learning a lot about Persian rugs from your videos. I recently purchased a Qum Silk Rug here in Canada where I live. The rug was advertised as 100% Silk and Handknotted on the vendor/showroom's website. The rug even has the weaver's signature on it. Before purchasing the rug, I was told I would be given an appraisal certificate listing all the attributes of the rug as well as the Appraisal value in dollars. I've been given an Appraisal certificate, with all details including the fact it is is 100% silk, Made in Iran, Knot Density, Name of the Weaver, and the value in dollars, but one very important detail is left out. It does not say on the certificate that it is handknotted. From the looks of the rug it does appear to be handknotted based on what I have learned so far even watching some of your videos. But I am a little concerned about the Vendors leaving such an important detail and how this could affect the resale value of the rug. Do I have a good enough reason to chase the Vendors from who I bought the rug, to amend the Appriasal certificate or provide a new one which mentions the handknotted detail? Is this something typically included on Certificates? Thanks Mike.

Mike two rugs on the left have signature upside down, huge red light. Specially with the mihrab design, you are the first guy to talk about that. There is absolutely no reason to make signature upside down except if they didn't know that that means. Meaning Chinese.

I want to know where to buy Serafijans

Do the new machine rugs sport signatures?

Always love the education you give. The historical knowledge is so nice, if sad in ways.

Thank you Mike! A sad reality yes…

My grandmother's BF just passed at 1001. I was left the contents of her home. Can you tell if the carpets she had are real? They were wealth. I know the carpets are very old. I will try to send pics 6:17 😅 6:19 6:19

Why no comments? This is so enlightening not to say beauty and exquisite craftmanship . Thank you, sir.

I need some help with pricing a rug

Is it possible and haw you can recognize with which kind of knot carpet was woven?

😍👏👏👏

Fantastic! Do I understand well that they used single (Persian) knots?

What is the value of this rug? Turkish rug, kashan Harir, design E373A, color brown, order 220303 - 1

what does ipec model mean in rugs pls guide

Thanks for your good explanation of silk rugs.

Hi Mike. I took your advice and walked away from a signed Isfahan as it did not feel right. I was told the name was “Daowreen Family” and I assumed that if it was real, the price would have been 4-5x higher! Thank you for making me an informed buyer ❤

im afsharian people from Turkei

Great video Mike. In the classic MP style. How are they able to weave a dual sided pile?

Майк привет. Сейчас в Узбекестане могут произвести такой ковер 2х сторонний. Скорее всего под заказ. Ткачи все еще обладают этими старинными технологиями!

Hello sir, I have 18x18 k&G Same rug as you shown in vedio but 18x18 quality

Sorry if this is stupid question but what is the difference between Mahi and Herati design?

kashmir also has pure silk rug heritage, upto 50x50 knots per sq inch

Hi, Do all Hereke rugs have a signature?

Майк, приветствую. Вопрос: говорят, что шерсть не любит воду. Это правда? Если во влажных помещениях использовать ковер, да ещё стать мокрой ногой на шерстяной ковёр. Как поведёт себя шерсть? Что будет с ресурсом? Влажное помещение: ванная комната, туалетная комната.

Another great video!

Beautiful !

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mike. I would like to ask you advice. We are planning to buy one Persian carpet by Parvizian, but I don’t know is this true carpet by master or fake. I have the photo of carpet and signature.

Usually your 30 minutes videos could be done in 5 minutes. You repeat the same points min 20 times but they vids are informative

Fantastic!

Thanks Mike! Interesting video! Can you speak to repairs in a future video?
