Hi Shawn , a question about the two different knots used in the Persian rugs please . Is one superior to the other and if not , what is the advantage one has over the other ? Are they better in different applications ?
I go over the two knot types in this video ruclips.net/video/NWQPMjzVGKI/видео.html Also you can read more about it here on this post: www.catalinarug.com/blog/persian-rugs-anatomy/
This is complete academic candy. I did not realize that the peak of Persian rug making was during the Safavid dynasty, although, considering the Safavid emphasis on excellence in the arts I should not find this surprising. Have you seen Qajar drinking bowls? These are magnificent. I am truly grateful that you share your passion for this art form and your knowledge of it with others..... like me. Max in Canada
Love your informative videos. I have read every book I can buy about Persian carpets. Your videos help me understand the art of carpet making so that I can go into a rug store and make a purchase without feeling like an idiot. By far my favorite manufacturing area is Kerman. I am lucky enough to have carpets from that area. Of course, I have my favorite one that I cherish. I will keep watching. 😊
Interesting history
Rugs were a form of everyday entertainment.
Loved this. Thank you for sharing this information.
Glad it was helpful!
I wish that you would follow this video up with another in which you show examples of surviving rugs from these various periods.
