Rug Washing Tubs are currently being promoted as the latest technology in area rug cleaning equipment. The truth is, any rug wash tubs built and sold in North America are just knock offs of a European design. The idea behind this system is good as long as you know what you’re doing, but there are major drawbacks: * Very few rugs can be thrown in a wash tub severe damage. * Cross contamination problems will reduce the amount of rugs able to be put in at a time * Color bleed from one rug to all other rugs in the tub * Enormous amounts of expensive water needs to be used because of the constant emptying and refilling of the unit due to contamination * Medium and large sized rugs are extremely heavy and difficult to lift and pull out of the wash tub * It’s cheaper to have one custom built for you by a local fabricator than it is to buy it at retail prices For a better, greener and more efficient system for removing dirt out of area rugs, see the entire line of RugBadgers and RugRevolutions at www.rugbadger.com

The Persian carpet is an essential part of Persian art and culture. These rugs normally come from a broad geographical region extending from China and Vietnam in the east to Turkey, Maghreb countries, Cyprus and Iran in the west and the Caucasus in the north to India in the south.

In 2008, Iran’s exports of hand-woven carpets was $420 million or 30% on the world’s marketplace. There may be an estimated populace of 1.two million weavers in Iran making carpets for domestic markets and international export. In recent times Iranian carpets have come under fierce competitors from other nations providing reproductions from the original Iranian models as perfectly as genuine cheaper substitutes.

The styles of Iranian carpets are copied by weavers from other nations as well.

The art of carpet weaving existed in Iran in ancient times, according to evidence such as the 2500-year-old Pazyryk carpet, dating back to 500 B.C., during the Achaemenid period.The first documented evidence on the existence of Persian carpets came from Chinese texts dating back to the Sassanid period (224 – 641 AD).This art underwent many changes in various eras of the Iranian history to an extent that it passed an upward trend before the Islamic era until the Mongol invasion of Iran.

Immediately after the invasion, the art began to grow once again for the duration of the Timurid and Ilkhanid dynasties. With the passage of time, the supplies employed in carpets, as well as wool, silk and cotton, will decay. For that reason archaeologists are almost never in a position to make any especially helpful discoveries throughout archaeological excavations. What has remained from early periods as evidence of carpet-weaving is absolutely nothing more than a couple of pieces of worn-out carpets. These kinds of fragments usually do not assist very significantly in recognizing the carpet-weaving characteristics of pre-Seljuk period in Persia.

Traditionally, since ancient times the carpets were used in Armenia to cover floor, decorate interior walls, sofas, chairs, beds and tables.
Up to present the carpets often serve as entrance veils, decoration for church altars and vestry. Starting to develop in Armenia as a part of everyday life, the carpet weaving in Armenia was a must in every Armenian family, with the Carpet making and rug making being almost women’s occupation.

In this relation, the characteristic trait of Armenian carpets will be the triumph on the variability of ornaments that’s increased through the vast gamut of healthy shades and tints.

The innovative weaving process used inside the Pazyryk ground indicates a long record of evolution and knowledge in this particular artwork. Pazyryk floor is regarded as for the reason that oldest gym floor inside earth. Its central field is a deep red coloring and it has two extensive borders, one particular depicting deer as well as the other Persian horseman.

Historical records show that the Achaemenian court of Cyrus the Great at Pasargade was decked with magnificent carpets.

This was more than two,five hundred many years back, while Persia had been even now in the fragile connections with Alexander the Good, who would afterwards betray her. Alexander 2 of Macedonia is actually said to have already been surprised from the carpets and rugs in the burial place location associated with Cyrus the actual Wonderful from Pasargade.

An authentic oriental rug is a handmade carpet that is either knotted with pile or woven without pile. Oriental-design rugs made by machine, made through hand-tufting or any method other than hand-knotting or hand-weaving are not considered authentic oriental rugs. These rugs normally come from a broad geographical region extending from China and Vietnam in the east to Turkey, Maghreb countries, Cyprus and Iran in the west and the Caucasus in the north to India in the south. People from different cultures, countries, racial groups and religious faiths are involved in the production of oriental rugs.Oriental rugs are organized by origin: Persian rugs, Anatolian rugs, Kurdish rugs, Caucasian rugs, Central Asian rugs, Turkestanian rugs, Chinese rugs, Tibetan rugs and Indian rugs.
In 2008, Iran’s exports of hand-woven carpets was $420 million or 30% from the world’s industry. There’s an estimated populace of 1.2 million weavers in Iran producing carpets for domestic markets and international export. In recent times Iranian carpets have arrive beneath fierce opposition from other nations around the world creating reproductions from the original Iranian designs as effectively as genuine more cost-effective substitutes.

Therefore archaeologists are hardly ever in a position to make any especially helpful discoveries in the course of archaeological excavations. What has remained from early times as evidence of carpet-weaving is almost nothing additional than a handful of pieces of worn-out carpets. These kinds of fragments usually do not support incredibly very much in recognizing the carpet-weaving characteristics of pre-Seljuk period in Persia.

Armenian carpet weaving that at the initial period coincided with cloth weaving by execution technique have passed the long path of development, starting from simple fabrics, which had been woven at the braiding frames of various form to pile knotted carpets that became the luxurious and dainty pieces of arts.”The complex history of Armenian weaving and needlework was acted out in the Near East, a vast, ancient, and ethnically diverse region. Few are the people who, like the Armenians, can boast of a continuous and consistent record of fine textile production from the first millennium B.C. to the present. Armenians today are blessed by the diversity and richness of a textile heritage passed on by thirty centuries of diligent practice; yet they are burdened by the pressure to keep alive a tradition nearly destroyed in 1915, and subverted by a technology that condemns handmade fabrics to museums and lets machines produce perfect, but lifeless cloth” .
On the opinion of various authors that the origin of the oriental carpets and rugs did not have any association with nomadic tribes, and Central Asia. They consider that the “oriental carpet is neither of nomadic origin, nor do its origins lie in Central Asia; it is a product of ancient oriental civilizations in the Armenian Uplands at the crossroads of the oldest trade routes between west, north and south”. The development of carpet and rug weaving in Armenia had been the barest necessity that had been dictated by the climatic conditions of the complete Armenian Highland. The type, size and thickness of carpets and rugs had also depended upon the climate of every specific region within the territory of Armenian Highland. The dwelling houses and other buildings in Armenia were constructed exclusively of stone or were cut in rocks with no wood flooring inside traditionally. This fact was proved by the results of excavations carried out in medieval Armenian cities, such as Dvin, Artashat, Ani and others. There has been the necessary source of raw materials in Armenia, including wool yarn and other fibres, as well as natural dyes . The most widespread raw materials to produce yarn for carpets and rugs was sheep wool, as well as goat wool, silk, flax, cotton and other. The Armenian carpet and rug weaving has its roots in the ancient times.

Armenian carpets are exceptional “texts” composed of the ornaments where by sacred symbols reflect the beliefs and religious notions from the historic ancestors of the Armenians that reached us from your depth of generations. The Armenian floor and rug weavers preserved strictly the traditions. The imitation and presentation of just one and exactly the same ornament-ideogram in the limitless amount in the variations of types and colors contain the basis fro the creation of any new Armenian ground.

This carpet is 283 by 200 cm and has 36 symmetrical knots per cm² . The state-of-the-art weaving process employed inside Pazyryk floor indicates a extended historical past of evolution and experience in this particular artwork. Pazyryk gym floor is regarded since the oldest floor inside the entire world. Its central field is a deep red colour and it has two wide borders, one depicting deer plus the other Persian horseman.

The Medieval Arab sources speak regularly about the wonderful Armenian carpets of Qali-qala and the medieval Armenian capital of Dvin as well as their use of the Armenian red cochineal dye , the fundamental color of many Armenian rugs. Marco Polo reports the following his travel account as he passed through Cilician Armenia: “The following can be said of Turkmenia: the Turkmenian population is divided into three groups. The Turkomans are Muslims characterized by a very simple way of life and extremely crude speech. They live in the mountainous regions and raise cattle. Their horses and their outstanding mules are held in especially high regard. The other two groups, Armenians and Greeks, live in cities and forts. They make their living primarily from trade and as craftsmen. In addition to the carpets, unsurpassed and more splendrous in colour than anywhere else in the world, silks in all colours are also produced there. This country, about which one might easily tell much more is subject to the Khan of the eastern Tatar Empire”

According to the ХIII c. Arab geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi, the origin of the word kali/khali/hali, a knotted carpet, is from one of the early and important Armenian carpet centers, Theodosiopolis, Karin in Armenian, Qaliqala in Arabic, modern Erzerum. He says, “А Qaliqala on fabrique des tapis qu’on nomme qali du nom abrege de la ville”. Academician Joseph Orbeli directly writes that word “karpet” is of Armenian origin

This had been around two,five hundred years back, even though Persia was still in a weak alliance with Alexander the Great, who does later on betray the woman’s. Alexander 2 of Macedonia is said to possess been surprised with the carpets in the tomb area associated with Cyrus the actual Great from Pasargade.

With the sixth hundred years, Persian carpets and rugs of wool or even silk ended up famous in the court circles all through the actual location. The actual Bahârestân floor associated with Khosrow I had been produced for the primary audience area in the Sasanians imperial Palace at Ctesiphon within Sasanian land of Irak.
