The origins of Navajo weaving, however, are difficult to trace back before the late nineteenth century. The oldest surviving instances of Navajo weaving date back to 1805. Sheep wool was first introduced by the Spaniards several hundred years ago, but Navajo rug and blanket production only seems to have begun after American control was established. Many of the designs were supplied by Caucasian American entrepreneurs, sometimes using Oriental tribal rug patterns. Navajo carpets that have vegetable dyes predating the introduction of industrial synthetics are also most desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavajo rugs and Native American Indian blankets are intricately geometric, woven in which the weft is packed tightly, making the warp invisible. Widely known for striking patterns, worked in dyed fibers ranging from soft, natural colors to more brightly colored yarns dyed with synthetic color, Navajo master weavers worked with many different styles of design. Wide bands of color mixed with stepped diamonds and other geometric patterns make this a very recognizable rug-type. Initially, there were few colors available from which to dye the fibers. Indigo was a very expensive and hard dye to render. Yellow was made from rabbit brush, a plant covered in yellow flowers. Occasionally green could be made from mixing the indigo and rabbit brush dyes. White and black were also used. Red, until the late 1800’s, was only available by taking apart red trade cloth. Today, dyes are made from widely available organic dye sources and by synthetic means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few examples of well-known patterns made today are Western Reservation, Wide Ruins, and Ganado. Though sometimes used on floors, Navajo rugs are more often used as tapestry wall-hangings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavajo rugs are famous for their unique, colorful designs and durability making them last for years. With the advent of machine spun wool manufactured in the Germantown area of Pennsylvania, the Navajo had access to brighter, more durable color dyes for their textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to a revival of traditional textile artisan-ship at the turn of the twentieth century and spurred by the Fred Harvey Company, the Navajo found success by moving back to hand spun wool and dyes for their weaving. In modern times, the 19th century Navajo rugs and Navajo Chief Blankets especially are considered highly collectible. In fact, Chief Blankets are extremely highly prized for their beauty and rarity, and continue to increase in value over time, making them the perfect addition to your collection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Afkari | Weaver Fascination | Rugs in NYC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34555056521370,"sku":"70002593","price":100000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7167\/9578\/products\/70002593_Antiquehookedrug_overall_14_.07X11__5A_9_3.jpg?v=1727917832"},{"product_id":"signed-and-dated-kirman-design-wool-carpet","title":"Signed and Dated Kirman Design Wool Carpet","description":"\u003cp\u003eKerman\/Kirman rugs are native to southwestern Iran\/Persia, from a town of the same name and its neighboring villages.

The quality of their weave, wool, and design have not been as good since the early decades of the twentieth century. One of the unforeseen benefits of this new trend has been the revival of a particular genre of modern rug production that may be distinguished from the rest – the Modern or Contemporary design rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roots of modern and contemporary rug design vary considerably. Drawing inspiration came from leading abstract painters of that period like Picasso, Klee, and Piet Mondrian, whose work could readily be translated into the medium of woven carpets. Early Scandinavian trends also contributed to this trend. Much of their influence can be traced back to the Art Deco Carpets of Europe, America and China. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with cutting edge innovations from contemporary architectural and interior design and painting, rug buyers have developed a taste for the clean, abstract, simplicity of Modern Interior Decor. With Contemporary Modern carpets, you will find a plethora of unique patterns mixed with simplicity, that will blend well within traditional elements to any room. You can rest easy with knowing you are able to purchase quality rugs and carpets in this style, without having to compete for the limited supply of Modernist Vintage pieces, which are rapidly becoming costly antiquities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs interior design trends shift from the plush rooms of the 1990’s and 2000’s, to the more modern, angular lines of today’s decor, carpeting has gone by the wayside in favor of hardwood or tile flooring. And while these spaces may be easier to clean, they can also leave the room feeling “cold” and sparse. Area rugs are the solution to this ever growing problem. Contemporary Modern area rugs add excitement, and can tie an entire room together. The challenge is deciding how to best accent your room with a rug that fits your personal sense of style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere at Richard Afkari Rugs, our eclectic, comprehensive selection provides a wide variety of Contemporary Modern carpets in many styles, colors, and sizes.

Aubusson carpets, generally larger in size, are known for their flat weave style, although numerous carpets with pile have been produced. Initially, Oriental designs were favored; however, over time, the influence of the Renaissance style introduced architectural and floral patterns. Central colors tend to be muted, with darker colors framing them, or appearing along the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term, \"Mid-Century Modern\" refers to an architectural and interior design style that dominated the design arts between the 1940s through the 1960s, even extending to the 1970s. The style is characterized by sleek geometric lines and patterns; organic shapes; bold solid colors; or color fields of black, white, beige, and gray. Designers frequently created coordinated interiors -- almost like set designs -- with rugs, carpets, wall coverings and furniture complementing each other.  In addition, the artwork of well-known painters was often translated into rugs. Another mid-century design style was the re-invention of the traditional Scandinavian Riya rug, also known as the shag rug. Characterized by a thicker, longer pile, the shag rugs were designed with organic shapes and bright colors, rather than more traditional elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are always happy to collaborate with you on a custom carpet that meets all your specifications...and your wildest dreams!

The quality of their weave, wool, and design have not been as good since the early decades of the twentieth century. One of the unforeseen benefits of this new trend has been the revival of a particular genre of modern rug production that may be distinguished from the rest – the Modern or Contemporary design rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roots of modern and contemporary rug design vary considerably. Drawing inspiration came from leading abstract painters of that period like Picasso, Klee, and Piet Mondrian, whose work could readily be translated into the medium of woven carpets. Early Scandinavian trends also contributed to this trend. Much of their influence can be traced back to the Art Deco Carpets of Europe, America and China. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with cutting edge innovations from contemporary architectural and interior design and painting, rug buyers have developed a taste for the clean, abstract, simplicity of Modern Interior Decor. With Contemporary Modern carpets, you will find a plethora of unique patterns mixed with simplicity, that will blend well within traditional elements to any room. You can rest easy with knowing you are able to purchase quality rugs and carpets in this style, without having to compete for the limited supply of Modernist Vintage pieces, which are rapidly becoming costly antiquities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs interior design trends shift from the plush rooms of the 1990’s and 2000’s, to the more modern, angular lines of today’s decor, carpeting has gone by the wayside in favor of hardwood or tile flooring. And while these spaces may be easier to clean, they can also leave the room feeling “cold” and sparse. Area rugs are the solution to this ever growing problem. Contemporary Modern area rugs add excitement, and can tie an entire room together. The challenge is deciding how to best accent your room with a rug that fits your personal sense of style. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere at Richard Afkari Rugs, our eclectic, comprehensive selection provides a wide variety of Contemporary Modern carpets in many styles, colors, and sizes.

Weavers were hired and looms were built for them.Kidderminster, Worcestershire, is the name most closely associated with rug manufacturing from the industrial revolution. From about the mid-1700s until the early 1900s, mills there produced a reversible flat weave, resulting in the pattern appearing on both sides.

The origins of Navajo weaving, however, are difficult to trace back before the late nineteenth century. The oldest surviving instances of Navajo weaving date back to 1805. Sheep wool was first introduced by the Spaniards several hundred years ago, but Navajo rug and blanket production only seems to have begun after American control was established. Many of the designs were supplied by Caucasian American entrepreneurs, sometimes using Oriental tribal rug patterns. Navajo carpets that have vegetable dyes predating the introduction of industrial synthetics are also most desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavajo rugs and Native American Indian blankets are intricately geometric, woven in which the weft is packed tightly, making the warp invisible. Widely known for striking patterns, worked in dyed fibers ranging from soft, natural colors to more brightly colored yarns dyed with synthetic color, Navajo master weavers worked with many different styles of design. Wide bands of color mixed with stepped diamonds and other geometric patterns make this a very recognizable rug-type. Initially, there were few colors available from which to dye the fibers. Indigo was a very expensive and hard dye to render. Yellow was made from rabbit brush, a plant covered in yellow flowers. Occasionally green could be made from mixing the indigo and rabbit brush dyes. White and black were also used. Red, until the late 1800’s, was only available by taking apart red trade cloth. Today, dyes are made from widely available organic dye sources and by synthetic means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few examples of well-known patterns made today are Western Reservation, Wide Ruins, and Ganado. Though sometimes used on floors, Navajo rugs are more often used as tapestry wall-hangings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavajo rugs are famous for their unique, colorful designs and durability making them last for years. With the advent of machine spun wool manufactured in the Germantown area of Pennsylvania, the Navajo had access to brighter, more durable color dyes for their textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to a revival of traditional textile artisan-ship at the turn of the twentieth century and spurred by the Fred Harvey Company, the Navajo found success by moving back to hand spun wool and dyes for their weaving. In modern times, the 19th century Navajo rugs and Navajo Chief Blankets especially are considered highly collectible. In fact, Chief Blankets are extremely highly prized for their beauty and rarity, and continue to increase in value over time, making them the perfect addition to your collection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Afkari | Weaver Fascination | Rugs in NYC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41217978794153,"sku":"70001554","price":100000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7167\/9578\/products\/square_f05ff9c4-b1fa-42a5-8659-b87868f91ad8.jpg?v=1727924786"}],"url":"https:\/\/richardafkari.com\/collections\/lavender-purple-rugs\/ivory.oembed","provider":"Richard Afkari | Weaver Fascination | Rugs in NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
