Oriental rugs in Houston are composed of rugs made all over Asia, including India, China, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, and more. Persian rugs are specifically made in Persia or modern-day Iran. Just like Turkish rugs are made in Turkey. Persian rugs also have subtypes, just like Oriental rugs do. A Hamadan rug is a type of Persian rug. There are many types of Persian rugs, including Heriz, Karaja, Kazvin, and Isfahan. Historically Persian rugs were thought to be the best quality type of Oriental rug, specifically those from Isfahan and the Arak region of Iran. Now we can appreciate all of the different types of authentic Oriental rugs, each of which have their unique qualities.
Both Persian and Bagdad Oriental rugs are woven
using either the Persian (Senneh) Knot or the Turkish (Ghiordes) knot. Wool,
Silk, Goat hair, and cotton are all used in weaving hand-knotted rugs depending
on where they are woven. For example, a rug woven in the Hamedan region of Iran
may have a wool pile on a cotton foundation.
A rug woven in Afghanistan may have a wool pile woven on a
wool foundation with goat hair used to secure the edges. A wide variety of
designs are used in Persian rugs, including central medallions, all-over
patterns, geometric tribal patterns, and prayer rugs. The design often depends
on where the rug was woven in Persia or Iran. While there are many different
designs in Persian rugs, many more designs are found when comparing all types
of Oriental rugs. For example, a rug woven in China will have designs
reflecting the culture of its weavers, which will not be the same as the
culture of Persian weavers.
