This wonderful rug was made in the early 1900s in one of the Qashqai villages by a semi-nomadic people around the mountains of Qashqai. The wool from this rug would have come from their own sheep, it has old vegetable dyes that has aged to a wonderful patina and is in excellent condition with no stains, repairs, or other issues. The size is 5.7 x 8.0 The women who wove these rugs used a ground loom and create the designs from memory using traditional colors and design elements of that tribe. They do express themselves individually by incorporating small features like flowers, animals, people, and other items that they like and are familiar with so no two rugs are ever the same. There is Abrash which is the change of dye lots, see below. These are original works of art from the distant past to be cherished in a home for generations to come. $750 Wholesale Q-318
Abrash
The appearance of slight deviations within the same color is called abrash. Abrash is seen in traditionally dyed oriental rugs. Its occurrence suggests that a single weaver has likely woven the carpet, who did not have enough time or resources to prepare a sufficient quantity of dyed yarn to complete the rug. Only small batches of wool were dyed from time to time, usually in a small pot. When one batch of wool was used up, the weaver continued with the newly dyed batch. Not using precise measurements for the dye material, the exact hue of color is rarely met again when a new batch is dyed, thus the color of the pile changes over time. As such, the color variation suggests a village or tribal woven rug, and is appreciated as a sign of quality and authenticity. The beauty of Persian carpets is timeless and never go out of fashion. This will be enjoyed for generations to come. Persian Carpets are the original that others copy and are appreciated and valued world-wide.
