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!! ❤❤❤

1 - персидский, 2 и 3 турецкий узел

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?

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

Thank you very much for this video. I am obsessed with Persian rugs and culture. Love form Saudi Arabia.

I have a great room which is a combination living and dining room. A large rug for each function separates them and adds visual interest. I prefer smaller rugs in the bedroom because I don’t want to conceal large parts of the rug under the bed. I find Herez rugs to be excellent in large sizes.

Great! Thanks! I just got a silk rug that is about 700+ knots per sq inch and has what looks like gold wire woven into parts of it. I was going to sell it, but now I'm going to keep it and hang it!

Excellent video.

Thank you! It's just so expensive to buy these rugs in America due to sanctions. So the majority ends up being "Oriental."

it would help , if from th start you tell us on the two rugs you showed, which is the hadn made and which is macheine made to begin wtih

Interesting history

Sorta helpful yes. My rug is 25-30 years old. It's Tabriz patterned but made in China with wool and silk. It has been damaged in small patches by insects (moths likely). I now have to repair it and I don't like how the fringe gets damaged or color bleeds in the cleaning process. Lots of maintenance costs potentially!!!

Nice info, thx

I have that exact vacuum, real cleaning heads know the mighty mite

Thanks a bunch!

Really great information, I'm Pakistani-American and my wife & I just bought a Qom Silk Persian Rug while while visiting my grandmother in Pakistan last month. In Pakistan, you can get access to Large Handmade Persian & Afghani rugs which are very hard to find here in North America due to trade embargos etc. I was just going off what the salesman in Karachi told me and your videos helped validate alot of the information now that I'm back in the US. I grew up in a South Asian Muslim First Generation household with oriental rugs placed everywhere in our house from the Middle-East & South-Asia and now that I'm second generation, it's important I keep the oriental rug tradition alive in my family. It's great to see your videos - super easy to understand and well put together!

First video I've watched on this subject that laid it out neatly for someone without professional gear. Thank you!

Very articulate presentation of the rug information I needed. I just bought Paki and Persian rugs that are just amazing art pieces. Thank you for helping in understand their significance.

But they are not ¨Persian¨, there is no such a thing as a persian rug, Caperts/rugs and etc is from turkic origin. Rugs were popularized in whole Iran in times of Safavid Empire (turkic kizilbash state). And also the oldest rug in the world was found on Altai (cradle of turkic civilization).

Haw to recognize if an 800-1000 knots silk rug was machine made?

No answer.

I thought that rugs from Iran were no longer imported. Was a ban lifted, or was there never a ban

Thanks for this video.

Wow bakhtiari are so intricate! They’re all quite lovely.

Thank you! This was very informative.

Thank you!

Thank you for all of your videos! I have two large (9x12) Sarouk rugs that belonged to my great-grandparents and are at least 120 years old. This video, and your others, have been really helpful in helping me decide whether to keep them or not. They once had metal tags on the corners, but no longer do. The designs of the rugs are similar, but not identical. The central areas of both rugs are dark rose with a blue, beige and brown floral pattern (my grandmother called it Tree of Life, but I'm not sure if that's what it is) and they have wide navy blue borders with a floral motif. There are a number of white spots on the rugs, and a few signs of wear but it's amazing how incredibly well they've held up for over a century. The colors are not those that I particularly like, but after watching your videos, I can't see parting with them

Good stuff, thank you!

I have a quite heavy rug that i would like to hang on the wall can i use this tecnique to hang it or is it a different one for heavy rugs. My rug weight ap. 13 kg. If this is the tecnique that should be used should i put one hanging in the upper and in the bottom space as well? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the video, but with all due respect Tabriz rugs are not "by far" (as you mentioned) the most distinguished rugs in Iran. Qom and Isfahan are way finer rugs. Again, I don't mean that Tabriz rugs are not amazing, but not as rich as some other cities. This is just my humble opinion.

Hi Shawn ! What is special between a Loribaft Gabbeh and a normal Gabbeh ? 🤔

Love your videos.

Thank you for sharing knowledge.

Thanks Shawn❤

Welcome back Rob 🙂

Learning a lot from you shawn,but how can I tell the age of a rug?
