Приветствую. Ковры Биджар - какие узлы ?

Very useful and interesting ty. I guessed 100 years lol

Did I miss you telling us about the importance of age on a rug?? Is it more valuable if the rug is older for the fact of age and being in good shape ? Should a new rug of equal size and quality cost less than an antique rug ?

This is a good lesson for me.

Great information. I have traded over the years and now have 15, including many antiques. I learned a lot from you. Thanks.

Thank you for your expertise and for sharing it with us. I am really impressed by the Kashan rug, it looks like made by divine hands.

Very informative and relaxed! Look forward to more videos. Thank you.

How to clean bohara?

Mixture?

Not enough info to be useful, but at least it's a start! For example, I never once heard the words backing, warp, or weft. But it is a very good starting point for interested people.

Great video and thanks for the instructive rug-lesson. I am a fan

Very instructive. I’d like to know what kind of rug is the beautiful rug on the wall behind you, if I may. Its design and colors are dazzling

Does this method apply to silk rugs as well as wool rugs?

Why do you use such dead colors Persian rugs? The whole exitement of Persian rugs are the story of nature n its beauty. Where in nature you find such dead colours?

Many very fine quality rugs are not used for walking over them. We have some under the glass coffee table, on the wall, on the tables, couch, or parts of the house that don't have traffic. As they are very fine n high quality, there is none of the signs you mentioned on them. How do you know if they are 100, 300, or 50 years old, considering, their very traditional pattern n material? Thank you.

Any guidance on how to mount a silk rug 9n the wall without damaging it?

So good. Thx😊

How many knots in a cm square etctct

Here’s a clue. If it smells like a camel has pissed on it, it’s too old. 😂

Why is there not a provenance on persian rugs as there are on paintings and other art work?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

To my eye, the completely flat colors, uniform back, and crude drawing indicate a mediocre rug of recent manufacture. I’m not convinced it is silk but perhaps mercerized cotton.

Thank you for sharing your brilliant unfolding of knowledge when it comes to the quality and knowledge of historical rugs. Very enlightening. Cheers! Darryl

how much?

Excellent description of how to determine the age of rugs. I have bought handmade rugs for over fifty years, at first new ones, then older ones. Interestingly, the fifty-year-old rugs barely show age at all. A professional washing every several years makes them sparkle. I have also had good-quality, machine-made , wall-to-wall carpets that barely lasted a dozen years. I later acquired vintage rugs, whose mellow colors I appreciate. Of course, the best way to determine age is to be acquainted with thousands of rugs of many different ages, as confirmed by the Catalina dealer.

Thanks very much!

So orryyyy does this😂😂

Greetings from Texas, Shawn. Good to see you. The 150 yo silk rug is indeed a treasure. It is fascinating to me how Oriental patterns resemble Native American designs, imo. And how natural dyes last for decades. I was at a furniture store recently where I marveled for some time with the beauty of carpets...even the man-made! Thanks for the tutorial.

Kashan silk rugs are no longer produced so I would guess it to be from the 1950-1970

This is a very informative and very nicely done segment. Didn't realize that Hriz (my preferred design) is third generation cousin of Bakhshayesh and Serapi. It would be nice to see films on the evolution of the other patterns. Placing the evolution of designs in the family groups makes the process of understanding Persian rugs much easier.

Very informative! Thanks

1. Узел 1,5 2. Узел 2 3. Узел 2 Узел 1,5 - асимметричный(персидский) Узел 2 - симметричный(турецкий)

Many thanks Do you have any presentation or tutos about Lilihan rugs or history ? As theses rugs are considered as part of hamadan rugs Is it correct ? Many thanks for your remarkable work ❤

Is the thickness of the wool yarn in rug wiving somehow regulated? It would be logical that, with the thinner yarn, you should be able to weave more detailed wool rugs. I don't believe that I have ever seen such rugs. Is cashmere ever used in rug wiving?

Simple, I ask my grandmother 😂

I presume that Kasmiri carpets are also persian knots as it was in the same cultural area. I also have a moroccan carpet. What type of knot is that?

No. But I can tell you that the rugs are GORGEOUS!! ❤❤❤

Asymmetrical?

Best explanation yet of the different types of knots.

Qashqais are Turks, not Arabs, not Lurs and not Kurds.

Very useful, thank you. 👍🏾

Plesse do not do that to persian rug. The rug in the video perhaps is k, but not a silk persian rug. You can only hang from the roots. Roots themselves need to be protected.

Please, please, PLEASE tell me ... what IS the first, white, natural fiber, most breathable wrapping material that you used to wrap the rug in this video? We’ve vacuumed, cleaned, and rolled our rugs. Now, I need to know, please, what is the material that I’ve asked you about. 🙏🏻 Anxiously awaiting your response. THANK YOU. 🙏🏻

IKEA sells Persian rugs made in Iran (apparently). Aren’t Persian rugs subject to sanctions ? Not sure how they manage to import them.

I Think I Can Scrubb The Rug With A Tampico Brush

no

So where does Heriz and Kerman etc. fall?

Благодарю за видео! Действительно ли эти ковры износостойкие? В чем ценность шерстянной основы?
