Sarab |
|
|
Sarab was one of the leading
carpet producing centres in Azarbaijan. Although situated
near Hens, carpets from this town greatly resemble those of
the more distant Meshkin Shahr.
At the present thick and long
wearing runners with the background in red and the borders
in white and red are woven in Sarab and its surrounding
villages. The fields of these runners usually have lozenge
and geometrical shaped medallions.
Formerly carpets were woven with
camel wool but at present sheep wool is used for this
purpose. The lengths of Sarab carpets are normally two to
six metres and their width is approximately one metre.
----------------------------------------------------
Although situated near Heriz, runners from Sarab greatly
resemble those of the more distant Meshkin and may easily be
confused with them.
Sizes: runners up to 6 sq. m (65 sq. ft.).
Colours: the field is often light to mid-brown, occasionally
red or blue, Ornaments and borders are in red, blue, white
and brown.
Patterns: hooked hexagons, also lozenges with simple filler
ornaments related to those of Caucasian rugs; occasionally
with reciprocal turreted borders.
Foundation: warps and wefts are usually of naturedly
coloured wool, or may he of camel hair.
Knots: very coarse to coarse, woven with Turkish knots, up
to 800 knots per sq. dm (50 per sq. in.).
Pile: good quality wool from highland sheep, occasionally
camel hair. Middle to high, sometimes crudely cut.
Quality: very good value, utility runners, if rather
elementary in design.
