Traditional Rugs: A Tapestry of Tradition and Elegance
The Allure of Traditional Rugs
Traditional rugs, known for their intricate patterns and superior craftsmanship, have long been celebrated for their artistic and cultural significance. In this article, we'll delve into the fascinating world of traditional rugs and uncover what makes them so special.
Craftsmanship and Material
Historic Centers of Rug-Making
The historic city is renowned as a center for rug-making, boasting centuries of expertise behind its diverse range of carpets. Each rug tells a story of tradition and skill passed down through generations.
Knot Density
Traditional rugs vary greatly in knot density, from bazaar-quality (24 raj) to extremely fine (up to 110 raj). The term raj refers to the number of knots per unit area, indicating the rug's density and craftsmanship. Higher knot density often means more detailed and durable rugs.
Materials Used
High-quality natural materials like wool, silk, and cotton are the foundation of traditional rugs. Wool provides durability and longevity, while silk adds intricate details and a luxurious sheen, making these rugs both beautiful and resilient.
Diverse Designs
Medallion to Figural Patterns
Traditional rugs showcase a vast array of designs, from classic medallion patterns to figural and even three-dimensional shapes. Each design reflects the rich heritage and artistic vision of the weavers.
Common Motifs
Among the popular patterns are the Herati and Mahi motifs, often featuring fish designs. These motifs symbolize various elements of Persian culture and history, adding layers of meaning to each rug.
Symbolism and Artistry
Lachak Turanj Design
A distinctive design from Tabriz is the Lachak Turanj, which features a triangle (lachak) and a citron (turanj) in the center field and corners. The citron represents the moon, while the lozenge pattern symbolizes fish scales rising to admire the moons reflection. This composition, dating back to the 9th-10th centuries, beautifully blends art, symbolism, and nature.
Moon and Water Themes
The use of moon and water themes in traditional rugs reflects a deep connection to nature and ancient symbolism. These elements often signify purity, life, and the passage of time, enriching the artistic value of the rugs.

Golden Period of Rug-Making
