Azarbaijan |
|
|
The fertile and vast province of
Azarbaijan is divided into two provinces, i. e., east and
west.
Carpet weaving has never been popular in West Azarbaijan. On
the contrary, in East Azarbaijan, the development of this
industry has always been considerable and worthy of
attention. In the last one hundred years, Azarbaijan
province has had its outstanding share in contributing to
the expansion of the carpet industry.
So, when in Istanbul (Turkey) the carpets in stock were
insufficient, the merchants of Azarbaijan started to install
weaving looms in the different cities of its province and
throughout Iran. The result of their initiative was the
glory and splendour of this industry in Iran. Both course
and fine carpets are woven in Azarbaijan, i.e., they weave
all types of carpets (within every seven centimetres one can
count eighteen up the seventy knots along the length of the
carpets.) in the past years and even recently very fine and
good quality carpets have been woven in Tabriz but most of
them that are produced in the other cities of the province
are generally coarsely-woven.
Normally all the carpets woven in Azarbaijan have Ghiordes
knots with double-weft. They are durable and hard wearing.
The colours that are most often used in the dye-houses of
Azarbaijan are red, blue, yellow, green, dark orange, beige
and other commercial colours. It can be roughly estimated
that fifty percent of the colour used in the dyeing centres
are provided from natural and herbal sources. For the rest,
chemical dyes are used. |
