These are petty-commodity production, the putting-out system, and workshop production. Petty-commodity production involves weaving in the home, with the male head of the household or other male relatives selling the finished product to a carpet dealer or at a local or regional market (fig. 1). The family owns the loom and other weaving supplies, and family members purchase or prepare the yarn themselves.

  • Rugs Weave New Lives
    Rugs Weave Scholar-in- New Lives Residence n 1978, German chemist Dr. Harald Boehmer sparked “The Great IAnatolian Rug Revolution,” transforming the entire Turkish rug industry. Even more than an industrial revolu­ tion, it has become a cultural survival project known as DOBAG, a Turkish acronym for Nat­ ural Dye Research and Development Project, which has restored the ancient art of handwo­ ven carpets and established the first-ever woman’s rug weaving cooperative in the Islamic world. Boehmer will give a lecture, Nomads of Anatolia, at 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 13, in Hudson Audi­ torium, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. The lecture is free and open to the public as part of JCCC’s Scholar-in-Residence program. A reception with Boehmer begins at 6 p.m. During his Sept. 13-17 residency, Boehmer will also address JCCC textile classes. Boehmer’s passion for native rugs began when he was teaching in Turkey. Using thin-layer chromatography, the chemist was able to ana­ lyze the dyes used in old Turkish rugs and match the vibrant colors to their original plant sources. Under Boehmer’s guidance, weavers stopped buying petroleum-based dyes and returned to Indeed, the DOBAG Project has raised the the natural plant dyes for their wool.

  • The Tree of Life Design – Part 1
    S. Busatta– The Tree of Life Design – Part 1 Cultural Anthropology 205 – 220 The Tree of Life Design From Central Asia to Navajoland and Back (With a Mexican Detour) Part 1 Sandra Busatta Antrocom-Onlus sez. Veneto The Tree of Life design is thought to be originated in Central Asia possibly from shamanic cultures, and can be seen as a favorite pattern in many carpets and rugs produced in a huge area, from Afghanistan to Eastern Europe. From the Middle East, together with other Christian and Moorish designs, it was imported to Central America where it mixed with the local versions of Tree of Life. Traders who brought Oriental carpet patterns to be reproduced by Navajo weavers made it known to them, but it was only after the 1970s that the design has had a real success together with other pictorial rugs. Introduction In the late 1970s for the first time I saw a number of samples showing the so-called Tree of Life design embellishing the walls of a restaurant in the Navajo reservation. In one or two trading posts and art galleries in the Southwest I also saw some Tree of Life rugs made by Navajo weavers, and also some Zapotec imitations, sold almost clandestinely by a roadside vendor at a ridiculously low price. The shops selling Mexican artesanias, both in the US Southwest and in Mexico, however, displayed only a type of Tree of Life: a ceramic chandelier- like, very colorful item that had very little to do with the Tree of Life design in the Navajo rugs and their Zapotec imitations.

Objective: Seals identity that the carpet-rug lived in Anatolia in Turkey date is the record of relations with extant prior rights. The characteristics that convey past cultural experiences to today still continue. It enables culture to be passed down from generation to generation with its unique fabric shape and patterns. Method: With this research, it has been tried to be revealed the depictions of traditional rugs in carpets-rugs that were influenced in the works of Turkish painters the period after 1882 by literature scanning. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it is observed that the painters were not independent from the Turkish customs, traditions and culture while they were painting.

    OF SILK, WOOL AND COTTON F INE C ARPETS AND T EXTILE A RT Specializing in Antique and Decorative carpets and textiles “I have no refuge in the world other than thy threshold; There is no protection for my head other than this doorway The work of the slave of the threshold of this Holy place” Maksud of Kashan in the year 946 H “ (1539 AD) This inscription figures in the main field of one of the most famous of all carpets, the Ardabil carpet, which covered the tomb of Shah Ismail, the founder of the Safavid Dynasty. Shah Tahmasp must have commissioned the carpet shortly after his father died in 1524, bringing the numbers of years that it took Maksud to finish this carpet to 15. The inscription above is so powerful it could have been written in some holy book, a book of faith. Instead, it is a dedication by the maker of a carpet, undoubtedly the greatest achievement of his life. Maksud might have believed that his work would be appreciated by countless generations to come, but making a great object is not the sole guarantee of appreciation. Once a great carpet is finished someone has to sell it, making the weaver and the trader two sides of the same medallion. One such side was Hussein Maktabi, my grandfather, born in 1900 in Isphahan, Persia.
