TEA AND CARPETS: HOW TRADITIONAL ARE IRAN’S MODERN GABBEHS?
Talk, news and links about oriental carpets, carpet collecting and the wonderful world of east meets west Wednesday, 13 February 2008 HANNOVER, Germany; January 17, 2008 Is it true that as life gets more complicated, designs get simpler? There is one enduring example. It is Iran’s gabbeh carpet – today very simple, and very popular. Gabbehs were not always the minimally decorated, sometimes single-color canvases they are now.

 Talk, news and links about oriental carpets, carpet collecting and the wonderful world of east meets west Monday, 18 February 2008 PRAGUE, February 18, 2008 The pretty baroque capital of the Czech Republic may not seem a likely place to find a museum collection of antique village and prayer rugs from the remotest corners of Turkey.

TEA AND CARPETS: CAN CAUCASIAN RUGS MAKE A COMEBACK IN THE CAUCASUS?
Talk, news and links about oriental carpets, carpet collecting and the wonderful world of east meets west Saturday, 1 March 2008 BAKU, March 1, 2008 It is ironic that so many countries copy Caucasian designs but to find a carpet that is actually woven in the Caucasus today is rare. After all, it is a simple rule of economics that if there is a market there is a product. By that logic, weavers in the Caucasus should be at least as active as their imitators. But weavers in Azerbaijan say that the... - http://tea-and-carpets.blogspot.com/2008/03/azerbaijani-weaving-seeks-revival-after_01.html 17/07/2008 - Category: Caucasian - More from this publisher

TEA AND CARPETS: TURKISH CARPETS AND SHOWMANSHIP GO HAND-IN-HAND IN ANATOLIA
Talk, news and links about oriental carpets, carpet collecting and the wonderful world of east meets west Saturday, 8 March 2008 ISTANBUL, March 8, 2008 In Istanbul, the saying goes, you will see the world. But if you are speaking about the carpet business and how showrooms use every idea imaginable to sell to tour groups – the phrase could cover Kusadasi, Cappadocia, and many other places in Turkey as well. Some tourists say the way Turkish carpets and kilims are sold is too aggressive. ... - http://tea-and-carpets.blogspot.com/2008/03/turkish-carpets-showmanship-go-hand-in.html 17/07/2008 - Category: Turkish - More from this publisher

TIBETAN RUGS AT ADRASKAND
 The Ballard Collection The St. Louis Art Museum by George OBannon This article originally appeared in , Vol. 11, #3 In 1905 while walking down Fourth Avenue in New York City, James Ballard passed an Oriental rug shop near the corner of 33rd Street. A small rug with bright red color caught his eye and he entered. The rug was priced at $500 but Mr. Ballard, possibly having been told one bargains with Oriental rug dealers, countered with a lower offer. After some haggling, it was his for $375.

BALUCH AESTHETICS - A DISCUSSION
Baluch Aesthetics - A Discussion on Rugs Made in the Baluch Style by Tom Cole (Originally prepared for) I have observed and participated in the Baluch rug market for many years now. It remains the most enigmatic rug market to my mind, not from the sole perspective of a dealer but as a disinterested observer, a dealer as well as trying to assume the perspective of a collector. In #97, I wrote an article entitled Baluch Aesthetics. Ostensibly, this article was intended as a postscript to the inte... - http://www.tcoletribalrugs.com/article56BaluchAesth.html 17/12/2006 - Category: Baluch - More from this publisher
