These are referred to as “Vase technique” carpets, as they often include a vase motif in their complex lattice designs, but more uniformly, the group shares the same triple-weft technical structure. There are many examples of Kerman vase carpets (and fragments) in national collections across the world. This carpet was bought in 1897 from the estate of the British designer, poet, craftsman, and socialist William Morris, who supported the South Kensington Museum (today the V\u0026amp;A) with collections advice over many years, and was a formidable influence on the institution. During his lifetime, Morris had kept this large carpet hanging lengthways on the wall of his home, with the top section overhanging from the ceiling rather like a medieval canopy. He enjoyed it as one of his household furnishings, but more specifically, the complex planar design must have pleased him as a designer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis rug boasts a harmonious blend of 13 natural colors, each derived from traditional natural dyeing methods:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural Wool Color 320: Specially Washed - Dark Brown 316: No Dye - Sheep’s own Color - Sunray Color 405: Henna - Imperial Red 415: Madder Root - Melancholy 122: Spurge - Madder Root - Dark Sienna 431: Madder Root - Emerald Green 407: Chamomile - Indigo - Pine Tree 420: Henna - Indigo - Turquoise 330: Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Hulls - Cadet Blue 26: Spurge - Indigo - Navy Blue 432: Indigo - Pomegranate - Celtic Blue 22: Indigo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700728660264,"sku":"ART00771","price":79900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/ART00771HLY312X512.jpg?v=1776121313"},{"product_id":"kerman-vase-carpet-from-alice-de-rothschild-collection","title":"Kerman Vase Carpet from Alice de Rothschild Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kerman Vase-Technique Carpet (Model: ART00764) by Ararat Rugs is a distinguished creation inspired by the renowned 17th-century Kerman \"Vase\" carpets of southeastern Persia.

Very similar palmettes, drawn in a curvilinear manner and combined with identical forked leaves, can be seen on a few examples of workshop carpets made from the late seventeenth century onward in Herat in Khurasan province, east Persia, and the same pattern known as Harshang design was used in the Caucasus in the eighteenth century, as well. The design employs floral, richly complex repeating arrays of brilliant color palmettes and flowers that mark it as a lineal descendant of the great vase-technique carpets of the seventeenth century. Kurdistan has not usually been given its due as a region that has produced rugs of considerable excellence of design and rich brilliant colors, probably from early times on, well into the 19th century. Technically they range from the solid, heavy, double-warped Bijars of the 19th century to the flexible rug of this type, and the Kilims, or flat-woven rugs of great delicacy. The design displayed in this example, clearly derived from a 17th-century model, proved so popular that it spread not only to Eastern Persia but to the Caucasus as well. It continued well into the 18th century and can still be found in Caucasian rugs of the 19th century. The design of this rug is based on an alternating succession of two large lateral palmettes surrounded by small palmette blossoms, a complex palmette arrangement composed of a central round floral medallion, four large palmette forms of two different designs facing this rosette, and four diamond-shaped cartouches, filled with rosettes, on the diagonal axis. A small-scaled trellis system fills, as a secondary pattern, most of the background of the field. The lattice appears to continue into infinity – as though we can see the section that is framed by the characteristic Bidjar border. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and soft colors are chosen for this rug.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e \t8\tcolors in total;\t \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharleston Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 316 (No Dye - Sheep’s Own Color) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna)  \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Salmon \u003c\/strong\u003e 310 (Madders Root - Walnut Hulls)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 419 (Henna - Indigo) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 330 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk) \u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003ecolors\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700728889640,"sku":"ART00608","price":7300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00608_V_v2.jpg?v=1776121324"},{"product_id":"gerous-arabesque-rug","title":"Gerous Arabesque Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe source of the rug comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eIslamic Carpets, Joseph V.

This is a system of arabesque-designed 19th-century rugs from Gerous ( Garrus or Garus ) region, Eastern Kurdistan area. This rug is a splendid echo of the Arabesque and Vase Carpets brought to perfection during the time of Shah Abbas the Great. The only element missing is the vase itself. A powerful system of arabesques is the framework, connected in many places by a variety of superbly drawn palmettes, crisp and clean in every outline. Except for the palmettes, the semi-naturalistic flowers and shrubbery of the field pattern all grow in one direction, which of course is characteristic of the early Vase Carpets. It is surprising to find such a rug, standing fully in the great tradition of 17th-century arabesque patterns, woven as late as the end of the 18th century. However, to quote Dr. Pope, \"This carpet is important far beyond its years.\" It should be noted that in all probability this Kurdish chieftain had through inheritance or gift, an original carpet of the Shah Abbas arabesque type and chose to attempt a wearing of an equally superior design.

Heriz ( Heris ) is a special Turkish knot weaving area of Persia, including many villages, located east of Tabriz in northwest Persia. Weaving has been carried on in the Heriz area certainly since the beginning of the nineteenth century and possibly before that date, named also Georovan, Mehriban, and Bakshaish. The Heriz area may be conveniently divided into three parts; the Karaja district, the Heriz area proper, and the Sarab district. The Heriz design repertoire is that of Classical Iran, featuring Lotus Palmettes, Medallions, Sickle leaves, Lattice, and Shrub tree ornaments. Few examples have survived from earlier periods, but a number of carpets with Sickle-Leaf and Palmette spring to mind, basically a synthesis of Isfahan and Vase carpet elements. Heriz weavers used straight lines, Tabriz's patterns are always curvilinear, yet the same design of the carpet which is woven from it is always in straight lines in Heriz. This propensity of the weavers of the area to break up curves into straight lines may be seen in operation any day in any of Heriz’s villages. The Tabriz merchants at that time knew that West was demanding carpet sizes in medallion designs, there was mass production in that area using synthetic alizarine dyes. At that time, Western customers liked the straight-line Heriz designs and as Ararat Rugs, we also liked the straight lines and reinterpreted the Heriz design by using all-natural wool and vegetable dyes at our time.

This is a vase-technique carpet design in the 17th century in the Kerman region, of Persia. In the 16th century, in Safavid Persia, medallion rugs were among the most appreciated, but at the end of the century and the beginning of the next, a taste for decoration with floral motifs, coils, and palmettes gradually emerged, covering the entire field. This is the case, for this example design, with rugs from eastern and southern Persia. Among the latter are the famous vase-type rugs attributed to the Kerman region, to which our design belongs. Considered by some specialists to be quite atypical, this rug made in Persia, probably in Kirman in the time of Shah Abbas (1587-1625), presents, on a dark blue background, an exuberant and dynamic vegetal decoration in which horizontal and vertical rows of palmettes and stand out, due to their dimension and spiral movements, large sickle-shaped leaves, alternating with branches and flowers. The very narrow rim, with a red background, is filled with a frieze of coils and flowers. It's a famous carpet design as 'Kerman Vase Technique Rug, The Most Expensive Rug Sold at Auction (33m.

This is a spectacular example of the Konagkend type rug in the late 19th century in the Kuba region, Caucasus. There are three principal designs for rugs attributed to Konagkend ( Konakkent or Konakhend ). The first has a large cruciform medallion, the second, called by Kerimov and Schürmann 'Ordutch-Konagkend', has a series of large octagons, and the third, and probably best known, has a stiff, angular lattice based on hexagonal forms. Each type has a quite different aesthetic appeal and in each case, the design is reminiscent of other rugs. The cruciform medallion type usually has a bright, light palette and in both color and design is reminiscent of Kurdish weavings and certain Turkish village rugs. The 'Ordutch-Konagkend' pieces have strong affinities with Baku and other north Shirvan rugs, and the lattice type is the closest to the concept of design most normally associated with Kuba as well as having links with earlier groups of, principally Turkish, carpets.

This Hammersmith carpet was designed by William Morris in 1882, in the United Kingdom. In 1887 English artist and bookbinder T.J. Cobden Sanderson, suggested that a new group be named the “Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society” As a result, he was the first to use the term “Art and Crafts” and also is credited with naming this new emerging movement. The Arts \u0026amp; Crafts movement was inspired by the degradation of product standards that resulted from the factory production age. The rise of machinery in manufacturing caused a noticeable decline in uniqueness and crafts. These anti-industrial reformers promoted economic advancement and social change. They wanted to eliminate poor quality and “artificial” items from 19th-century British society. They saw a plethora of uninteresting items on display at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and became inspired to launch a campaign for originality and uniqueness.William Morris was an English designer, as well as an uplifting social activist and writer. Morris is credited with sparking the rebirth of textile arts and traditional means of production. In 1861, Morris and a small group of designers opened an incredibly fashionable design company that grew to be largely successful. Morris left behind works in many different mediums such as textiles, books, furniture, stained glass, and area rugs. But in the end, he is most remembered for the magnificent wallpapers that he designed. He got much of his inspiration from the natural world. Through his interior decor pieces, Morris set out to convert rooms or spaces into meadows with beautiful trees meandering, vines and plants. This concept of taking something industrial and man-made, and converting it into something natural is what William Morris meant when he once said: “-any decoration is futile… when it does not remind you of something beyond itself.”Morris was a huge commercial success and his works are some of the most sought-after pieces in the world of design and decor. He is also credited with almost single-handedly reviving the British textile arts as well as their methods of production. Morris was also severely critical of machine-made goods, exclaiming, “Today almost all wares that are made by civilized man are shabbily and pretentiously ugly.” Houses were filled “with tons and tons of unutterable rubbish,” which, he suggested, should be heaped onto a gigantic bonfire! “As a condition of life, production by machinery is altogether evil.” He masterminded one of the most well-known styles of Arts \u0026amp; Crafts, recognizable by its twisting and arching patterns and simple, elegant floral design prints. Although Morris believed that Persian carpets were the greatest ever made, he adopted the coarser Turkish (Ghiordes) knot for his own hand-knotted carpet manufacture. They were woven at a thickness of 25 knots to the square inch at that time. Morris \u0026amp; Co.’s rugs are reminiscent of Persian garden design carpets in that they are smartly styled depictions of English gardens. Donegal also started producing highly desirable Irish rugs in the late 19th century. The Donegal rugs were predominantly created by English architects C.F.A. Voysey and Gavin Morton. The hand-crafted Voysey rugs are typically woven in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Voysey had a knack for using contrasting shapes to decorate flat monochromatic spaces. Dark outlines added a flair of drama to his signature pattern and Celtic rug designs. The first Donegal rugs were hand-knotted over a dense wool foundation.

Very similar palmettes, drawn in a curvilinear manner and combined with identical forked leaves, can be seen on a few examples of workshop carpets made from the late seventeenth century onward in Herat in Khurasan province, east Persia, and the same pattern known as \u003cem\u003eHarshang\u003c\/em\u003e design was used in the Caucasus in the eighteenth century, as well. The design employs floral, richly complex repeating arrays of brilliant color palmettes and flowers that mark it as a lineal descendant of the great vase-technique carpets of the seventeenth century. Kurdistan has not usually been given it's due as a region that has produced rugs of considerable excellence in design and rich brilliant colors, probably from early times on, well into the 19th century. Technically they range from the solid, heavy, double-warped Bijars of the 19th century to the flexible rug of this type, and the Kilims, or flat-woven rugs of great delicacy. The design displayed in this example, clearly derived from a 17th-century model, proved so popular that it spread not only to Eastern Persia but to the Caucasus as well. It continued well into the 18th century and can still be found in Caucasian rugs of the 19th century. The design of this rug is based on an alternating succession of two large lateral palmettes surrounded by small palmette blossoms, a complex palmette arrangement composed of a central round floral medallion, four large palmette forms of two different designs facing this rosette, and four diamond-shaped cartouches, filled with rosettes, on the diagonal axis. A small-scaled trellis system fills, as a secondary pattern, most of the background of the field. The border design follows a well-established tradition of cartouche and star medallion succession. Both guard stripes are filled with a lively angular leafy meander scroll. The lattice appears to continue into infinity – as though we can see the section that is framed by the characteristic Bidjar border. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11colors of total; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePine Tree \u003c\/strong\u003e 420 (Henna - Indigo) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCadet Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 419 (Henna - Indigo) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmerald Green  \u003c\/strong\u003e 407 (Chamomile - Indigo) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNavy Blue \u003c\/strong\u003e 432 (Indigo -  Pomegranate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Robin \u003c\/strong\u003e 125 (Spurge - Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna)  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 442 (Madder Root )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurnt Coffee \u003c\/strong\u003e 102 (Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003ecolors\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700729545000,"sku":"ART00603","price":3150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00603_V_v2.jpg?v=1776121353"},{"product_id":"harshang-design-with-kufic-border-rug-art00499","title":"Harshang Design with Kufic Border Rug","description":"The source of rug comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eOrient Star - A Carpet Collection, E.

Heriz ( Heris ) is a special Turkish knot weaving area of Persia, including many villages, located east of Tabriz in northwest Persia. Weaving has been carried on in the Heriz area certainly since the beginning of the nineteenth century and possibly before that date, named also Georovan, Mehriban, and Bakshaish. The Heriz area may be conveniently divided into three parts; the Karaja district, the Heriz area proper, and the Sarab district. The Heriz design repertoire is that of Classical Iran, featuring Lotus Palmettes, Medallions, sickle leaves, Lattice, and shrub tree ornaments. Few examples have survived from earlier periods, but several carpets with Sickle-Leaf and Palmette spring to mind, basically a synthesis of Isfahan and Vase carpet elements. Heriz weavers used straight lines, and Tabriz's patterns are always curvilinear, yet the same design of the carpet which is woven from it is always in straight lines in Heriz. This propensity of the weavers of the area to break up curves into straight lines may be seen in operation any day in any of Heriz's villages. The Tabriz merchants at that time knew that West was demanding carpet sizes in medallion designs, there was mass production in that area using synthetic alizarine dyes. At that time, Western customers liked the straight-line Heriz designs and as Ararat Rugs, we also liked the straight lines and reinterpreted the Heriz design by using all-natural wool and vegetable dyes at our time.

Garrus is located in the foothills approaching the flatlands of Persia, Garrus has been a significant Kurdish city since antiquity when it was the capital of Media Minor. Important writers, scientists, and politicians from Garrus contributed to the Safavid dynasty, and it was a major commercial center. Garrus was more populous than Senna in the nineteenth century. As it was in the west of Persia, it was fortunate to escape the ravages of the Afghans and to a certain extent the economic incompetence of Nadir Shah. In the eighteenth century, it benefited from the lack of a centralized Persian government bent on collecting high taxes, and from the benign, decentralized rule of the Zands. The brilliant weaving school of Garrus, like that of Senna, did not develop in a vacuum in a process of \u003cem\u003edeus ex machina\u003c\/em\u003e as Edwards proposed, but rather was the product of centuries of skill and tradition. Garrus weaving benefited from the area's stability over the centuries, which meant that there was enough time for the art to develop and become refined. Moreover, this was a rich province whose economy could support its products, and which was located sufficiently close to the major commercial arteries of western Asia to benefit from international commerce. It was not far from Tabriz and its markets. In 1880 European and Tabriz merchants developed workshops in Garrus for weaving the famed carpets that are called \"Bijar (Bidjar)\" today. These weavings have been treasured and preserved down the years by rug collectors. The rich colors applied by Garrus dyers to the lustrous hard wool in multi-flowered patterns are considered by many to be the most attractive of Kurdish urban weavings. This carpet's design shows a vigorous central with birds on the branches of the trees; a rich assortment of decorative but naturalistic flowers, leaves, rosettes, and palmettes in the field, and ornaments with floral forms contrasting with the border.
