While Handmade rugs will upgrade the appearance of any room, tribal rugs with their unique colours and designs, lend a special warmth that cannot be achieved otherwise. The tribal rugs are essentially a one-off work of tribal art usually created by nomadic or semi-nomadic people living in small villages or on the open plains where the raw materials for the rugs come from their own animals or bought from shops along their routes of travel. It can take several months for one person to make even a small prayer rug, and larger Persian triable carpets may require the daily work of several persons for more than a year. The value of the tribal rug is therefore directly related to the time and effort made to create it. The quality of the materials and complexity of the design affect the time required to create these carpets and these factors also affect the value. An important factor in determining the value of a carpet is the source of the carpet.: where was it made and by what tribal group?
Persian Carpets of generally similar design, size, materials and workmanship can be made in widely different geographical areas. For example, a Turkmen rug made by the Turkoman tribes from north-eastern Iran,. Their rugs in Todays, are extremely high-quality.
The serious carpet collector must therefore be armed with sufficient knowledge to study a Persian carpet and with reasonable accuracy, identify some key features of the Persian carpets design, construction and origin. While an amateur collector may never be able to “smell the wool” and tell what village the sheep came from, there is considerable enjoyment and satisfaction in successfully researching a carpet to confirm its origin.This clause will outline many of the variables in carpet identification and will provide some general guidelines to follow in assessing your future purchases. It is not to be confused as a definitive reference document and should be used only in context with other carpet books and your own experiences.We do have the best quality here in our Gallery, please pay a visit to us and enjoy the lovely collections.
