Retail Price $8700.00! (we have additional pictures) Azeri rugs are made in northeastern Turkey by Azeri and Kurd tribespeople who delight in a profusion of bright, primary colors. The weave has a heavy, Bidjar-like density. Wool comes from fat-tailed Karaman sheep that are summer-pastured in the high mountains. Dense fibers result in a hard, heavy yarn that is especially resistant to wear. Plants and roots used for dyes are grown locally. Each village forms its own cooperative, joining with other villages to establish dye centers and weaving schools for young people. We offer an educational video (This Beautiful Country)which presents the weaving culture of northern Turkey. Since a carpet is more of a work of art, each design has a deeper meaning. A carpet is more likely to a poem; neither can tolerate any extra element which does not contribute to its wholeness and value. Therefore, just like in a poem, each pattern of a carpet is like each verse of a poem. It is chosen for its beauty and motifs are carefully arranged to form rhymes of fascinating Turkish Carpets. Motifs in Turkish rugs are a complete language. They are very interesting fact about Turkish Rugs. They are the expressions of the weaver who are generally women.
In general same regions have same motifs. It is like people talking same language. Motifs depend on the period which they belong in history and the place where they live. They are live words.
