Hand Knotted Persian Varamin Rugs and Carpets

In our Rug Tent Sale, we sold several hand knotted Persian rugs, two of which were Varamin carpets from our own looms and productions. Two different customers bought these pieces separately. Varamin is a small town 25 miles south east Tehran with a rich history of rug weaving. These beautiful and collectible rugs are made with hand spun wool and natural dye. Each piece was unique with overall design. The red one had "Camel Foot" design and the ivory one had Shah Abbassi design.

Rug Tent Sale Rug Sale Los Angeles

Our Rug Tent Sale on Black Friday and Saturday, November 25, and 26, 2011 was a success. We received several rugs for cleaning, repair and appraisal. We sold several area rugs and runners. We also sold few hand knotted Persian carpets. Even today with our tent sale over, one of our returning customers who had seen a Persian Varamin rug on Friday returned and bought that rug. I called this tent-sale after shock. This was our 5th rug tent sale.

Yesterday was the first day of our 2-day Rug Tent Sale in our Los Angeles parking lot and showroom. We started to set up the tent at 9:00 am. We were busy the whole day specially around 12:00 pm and afterwards. We received several rugs for cleaning and repair from new and return customers who wanted to take advantages of our specials. We also sold several area rugs to different customers.

A client who had bought an area rug  couple of weeks ago and was happy with her carpet and our services, came in with her husband and bought two 9' x 12' hand knotted Persian signed Mashad carpets. Overall, the first day was a good and busy day. We went home around 7:00 pm. Although me and my team worked very hard and had to move and open/close many rugs, I was not tired at all when I got home

Cat Scratch Pet Scratch Rugs Restoration

Dogs scratch the ground and cats scratch the rugs. Cats mark their territories with scratching and this can be a work out, stretching and yoga for them as well. It gives them pleasure and it feels good to scratch. You can get your cat a scratching pole (sisal is recommended), but she still may scratch you rugs. That is why we have "Cat Scratch Restoration" services for your rugs.

Here I am posting few pictures of a tufted rug with cat scratches. We did the cleaning first and one of our technicians is restoring the rug and taking care of the scratches with our special shearing machine.

Hadji Jalili Carpets Haji Jalili Rugs of Tabriz

We had a very busy and hectic day today. We started at 8:30 am by going to a clients home in Beverly Hills. He had few rugs for cleaning. Three of his six rugs were Hadji Jalili Tabriz carpets. They needed some repair and securing the ends. Two of these were 4' x 6' and one carpet was a big 9' x 13' Haji Jalili. This client had a very good taste and had a couple of other beautiful Kerman Ravar rug and a Malayer Kurdish runner. They all needed cleaning and repair. We picked them all up.

We then went to another client's home to give estimate for her five rugs for cleaning and repair. One antique 100-year old Kashan, two Romanian rugs, and a couple of other pieces. I had quoted her over the phone. She called in and said she had received lower prices than ours. I had to go to her house myself to convince her that she should not go by the price but the quality of the work. We picked up all her rugs.

Our third stop today was an appraisal project for 14 rugs for insurance purposes with selling three big rug pads. We measured each rug, took notes and pictures. When I feel that I should go to my customers' homes to give estimate to get the jobs, I go there myself and come back with the rugs.

I had my lunch around 5:00 pm and got home around 7:00 pm.

Karadjeh, Qaradjeh, Gharadjeh, Gharajeh Rugs and Carpets

Karadjeh also spelled Karajeh, Qaradjeh, Gharadjeh, Gharajeh is a very small village north east of Tabriz in north west Iran very close to the border of the Republic of Azerbaijan and republic of Armenia. The weavers in this area produce beautiful hand knotted carpets mostly small sizes and runners. The design is geometrical multi-medallion in red. Occasionally we see dark blue and ivory backgrounds in Karadjeh rugs. The knots are symmetrical with flat double corded selvages on the sides. Using deep blue, sky blue and turquoise is also very common in the area. As you can see on the map, Karadjeh is to the north west of Heriz.

Here, I am posting few pictures of an antique old Karadjeh runner with the size of  2' 8" x 10' 10", early 20th century with beautiful 5-medallion design in red. It is in a very good condition and we have priced it for $2,950.

We also have few new Karadjeh runners in red and ivory background with birds and geometric designs. The newer versions of Karadjeh rugs have strong colors of turquoise, orange, and pink. These new pieces are priced $1,950. Sizes are 2' 6" x 10'.

Malayer Rugs Malayer Capets

An antique early 20th Malayer rug 4' 2 X 6' 6" $4.950

Malayer is a small town located in the province of Hamedan in north west Iran, 55 miles (90 km) south east of Hamedan city and 250 miles (400 km) south west of Tehran.

Malayer rugs are usually small, although in few cases I have seen big 12’ x 18’ antique Malayer carpets. Making runners is also common. Many of the designs are geometrical; using Herati (Fish, Mahi) or paisley (Boteh) designs. Malayer rugs are single-wefted symmetrically knotted. Generally speaking, Malayer rugs have cotton foundation. In some very older pieces made by Kurds in Malayer, foundations are ivory colored wool. The weave in Malayer rugs is finer than in Hamedan rugs.
