  • Rug Buying Guide Find the Perfect Rug for Any Space
    Rug Buying Guide Find the perfect rug for any space. Learn more about rug construction, sizes, material, style, and care. The right rug can do more than just help define a space. It can protect your floors from wear and tear while adding to a visually appealing aesthetic with its colors and patterns. However, purchasing a rug is no easy task. You must consider your lifestyle, placement of the rug, design of the rug, and what you will need from a rug. We’ve compiled the ultimate guide to help you find the exact rug that will fulfill the needs of your space. Rug Weaves The weave of a rug can determine the feel, look, and durability overtime. Although rugs can now be made more efficiently, there are still many craftsmen who tediously weave rugs by hand. Hand-Knotted Hand-knotted rugs are very labor intensive with lasting results. They are very durable and can last for over 20 years with minimal shedding. The most common fiber used is wool. Because hand-knotted rugs are very labor intensive to create, they can take on average 5-7 months to be completed, sometimes even longer. The time and labor put into creating a hand-knotted rug does make it considerably pricier than other. Weavers will begin by hand tying knots onto warps before tying tufts of wool around the warp creating knots. The end of knots create the pile. Wefts are then threaded through in order to tighten the knots. This creates the foundation of the rug. The more knots per inch, the more intricate the pattern, and usually the more durable the knots will be.

  • Issue 2015 2 3
    1 Issue 2015 2 3 EDITORIAL Dear Fellow Associates, Alive is back! After several years of absence, we are proud to publish a totally brand new magazine dedicated to the art of Turkish rugs. Istanbul Carpet Exporters Association (IHIB) is celebrating its 25th anniversary. IHIB represents 400 Turkish carpet exporters that generate 500 million USD in rug exports as well as 1.5 billion USD from rugs sold in touristic shops within the country and from oriental rug restoration. Through Alive, our intention is to demonstrate not only our Turkish carpet heritage but also our vision for the future. In this issue, we have asked Turkish and, for the first time, international experts to share their knowledge of the rug history and more importantly, of the future of our precious rugs. Thanks to our rich heritage of carpet weaving, Turkey is the world’s second biggest Oriental rug exporter. Our goal, though, is to become number one. We aim to make Istanbul the main international center for oriental and for designer rugs with worldwide famous Turkish brands. For that very purpose, we give full support to young Turkish designers and to creative Turkish rug merchants. Soon we will be constructing our new project named ISTANBUL HALIKENT (Istanbul Carpet Outlet) that will be the biggest carpet outlet in the world consisting of 200 carpet showrooms at one location. Already the biggest manufacturer of machine made rugs and second biggest exporter of Oriental handmade rugs, our know-how, our dynamism and our innovation will herald a bright future for Turkish designer rugs and Turkish carpet brands.

  • Oriental Rugs from Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey
    Modified By The Rug Guru Oriental Rugs From Persia, Afghanistan, Turkey ... Turkmen Rugs Geography West Turkestan is an area of some 700,000 square kilometres with the Caspian Sea to the west, the Mangyshlak Peninsula to the northeast and the Kapet-Dagh Mountains and the outskirts of the Hindukush forming a semicircle to the south. West of what since 1924 has been the border of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Turkmenistan are Afghanistan and the Iranian province of Khorassan. At the eastern side is the huge Chinese province of Xinjiang (Sinkiang). Usually referred to in the context of weaving literature as East Turkestan. Thus viewed in simple geographic terms, it is easier to understand the nature of this Eurasian basin, part of the ancient world's dry belt. To the western side of the region is the Karakum desert and to the east, between the Amu- Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the Kyzylkum desert. To the south, that there was earlier the Soviet Socialist Republic of Uzbekistan, now this independent state, are the important trading centres of Bukhara and Samarkand. The latter having been a major post along the ancient Silk Road, which ran from China through East Turkestan and on westwards, via Tashkent in Uzbekistan, Mary (Merv) in Turkmenistan and Khorasan. Many different ethnic groups have occupied this region for millennia and among those associated with weaving, in addition to the Turkmen's themselves, are the Uzbeks, Karakalpaks and Kirgiz. Historical Research Serious research into the weaving culture of the Turkmen's must, of course, encompass more than aesthetic appreciation.
