Persian Rugs at the speed of knots
Author: reikopena | Posted: 25.08.2012It could be suggested that the most famous of floor coverings are Persian rugs and Persian rugs- since their recognition in the interior design world – have been created in some of the most beautiful, amazing designs.
Divided into two main sections, Persian rugs are distinguishable by a unique border of one design and combination of colours and an inner- section that usually offsets the outer section by being of a clashing colour and design ensemble. Not for the feint- hearted homeowner, Persian rugs are by no means minimalistic or sleek and are more at home in chinch as opposed to futuristic!
Indeed, Persian rugs can only really ‘work’ in certain rooms. Some Persian rugs are geometrically designed; somewhat repetitive which makes them ideal for office spaces whilst other Persian rugs feature plants, flowers, animals and other natural elements which would enhance either a conservatory or living area.
But never judge a book by its’ cover! Not to be pigeon- holed as one- dimensional standard soft furnishings, Persian rugs- whilst undeniably beautiful - are also steeped in traditional values and culture.
If you take a good look at Persian Rugs you will notice that they all feature ‘central medallions’ and no central medallion is the same as another. The central medallions positioned on Persian rugs are usually spiritual and symbolic of faith; the inspiration for which comes from the domes of the Mosques.
Not dissimilar in creation, Persian rugs are made by hand using a knotting technique that is unique to all forms of oriental rugs. Incredibly, some of the best quality Persian rugs may contain in excess of 50 knots per square cm whilst low to average Persian rugs contain approximately 30 knots. Knotting, to produce Persian rugs is an arduous, time consuming task and with craftsmen knotting on average 10,000 knots per day, should not be left unrecognised for the skill and workmanship that goes into handcrafting Persian rugs for the worldwide consumer.
