Contemporary Rugs for Your Home

 

As you tour our website and view the many cheap modern rugs we have for sale, you’ll undoubtedly notice that we have several different kinds of area rugs for you to choose from. Some of these common options include hand-knotted, hand-tufted and hand-woven area rugs. To give you a better idea of contemporary rugs in general, we will explain the most common options that will normally be available to you as you shop for cheap modern rugs.


 

Here are the options you will often come across when you are looking for modern rugs for sale throughout our online inventory:


 

Hand-Knotted:

 

This time-tested rug-making tradition has been handed down from generation to generation throughout many cultures. Although this technique is still utilized for modern rugs, you’ll be able to notice this methodology within Persian, Turkish and Oriental rugs as well.


 

This technique involves wrapping and knotting yarn around every one of a rug’s warp threads. Every strand of yarn is cut and tamped by hand, which gives hand-knotted rugs a very tight construction and a unique appearance that is truly unmatched in terms of intricacy.


 

2) Hand-Tufted:

 

With this unique rug-making technique, a skilled craftsperson uses a tufting tool to pass yarn through a fabric that is stretched on a frame. The fabric has a pattern on it, which the artisan will follow to create an eye-catching, often very colorful design.


 

Hand tufting can produce cut or looped piles, and modern hand-tufted area rugs will often have a latex backing. This is a very special type of modern area rug, and we’re certain you’ll enjoy browsing through these unique, aesthetic options.


 

3) Hand-Woven:

 

Hand-woven rugs are made with the use of a loom. Tradespeople weave yarns that have different widths and colors together to create hand-woven rugs. Hand-woven rugs typically vary widely in terms of the contexts of design and intricacy, but for many area rug aficionados there is nothing quite like a hand-woven rug!


 

4) Machine-Loomed

 

Instead of being handmade by craftspeople, machine-loomed rugs are of course produced by machines within manufacturing facilities. In addition to being made mechanically, machine-loomed rugs differ from their handmade counterparts in terms of the materials that are used to produce them.


 

Whereas handmade rugs are often made with cotton, wool or silk, synthetic materials are commonly used in the construction of machine-loomed rugs. The use of synthetic materials will typically provide cheaper prices, and what’s great about these area rugs is that they’ll still have a very similar appearance to handmade rugs.


 

Choosing the Right Contemporary Area Rug for Your Space

 

For many home and business owners, buying a specially crafted area rug represents a big investment, which is why it is important for you to pick the rug that will work best within the parameters of your space.


 

Here are some tips that can help you make the right choice in terms of choosing the right contemporary rug for your space:


 

Consider Contemporary Rug Use:

 

Shopping for an area rug that will be put in a room that is rarely used is different from looking for cheap modern rugs that will be placed in areas that see a lot of foot traffic. Knowing how you will use an area rug and how much wear and tear it will be exposed to will help you choose the rug that is best for your specific spaces.


 

2) Determine Modern Rug Size:

 

Since you are looking for cheap modern area rugs, you’re not going to cover an entire floor with the rug you buy. This means that you’ll need to adequately measure the area you want to cover with a rug so you’ll know exactly what size you are going to shop for.


 

3) Review Furniture Placement:

 

It’s also rather important for you to figure out how you’ll position your furniture once you have one of our modern contemporary rugs. Where you plan to put your furnishings will influence everything from the final size of the rug you buy to the type of design your rug’s field has. It’s necessary for you to have a solid idea of where you’re going to place your furniture before you purchase an area rug, because it will help give you more clarity as to what the overall aesthetics of the room will be like once your new rug is properly laid out.


 

If you would like assistance with finding the rug that is perfect for your living or workspace, contact Rug Source for more information. Our team of experts will be more than happy to explain all the options that are available to you, and go over which type of rug is best for you based on your unique spacing parameters and lifestyle.

Gabbeh Rugs are Part of a Rich Persian Tradition

The traditional Gabbeh Persian carpet – known as gava in Kurdish and Luri and called khersak in Bakhtiari – is a simple, hand-woven pile rug traditionally made by the nomadic Qashqai tribes who dwelled in the Zagros Mountains of southern Iran, near the city of Shiraz. Other tribes, such as the Lurs, the Kurds and the Bahktiari also weave these carpets.

In Persian, the word “Gabbeh” means “fringe” or “in the rough.” Gabbeh rugs are rough cut and long piled rugs of rich color and the best quality wool. Most Gabbeh carpets are medium size – up to 3’ x 5’ – and feature abstract designs where shapes and color dance playfully with one another.

Variations of the gabbeh rug – such as the “Loribaft”, “Amaleh”, “Kashkuli” – may reflect the heritage of the tribe by which they are woven or the name of the city in which they are most often traded, such as “a Shiraz Gabbeh.”

The 19th century gabbeh rugs were very coarsely knotted (40kpi or less), often with shaggy pile. The name of Gholam Reza Zollanvari is synonymous with modern Gabbeh rugs. Zollanvari learned the rug business from his grandfather, a merchant in the Shirazi rug bazaar. Zollanvari pioneered the construction of fine-weave gabbehs with knot counts of 200+ kpi. Today, Zollanvari rugs are among the most popular styles of Persian rugs.

The Making of a Gabbeh Rugs: A Craft Shared Across Generations

Most Gabbeh carpets are made by women, and many are one-of-a-kind works of art. Some patterns are passed down thru the generations as mothers and grandmothers teach their daughters the art of Persian rug making. Many patterns reflect the weaver’s observations of the environments through which the tribe has passed. Some rugs are even made by the hands of many weavers.

Traditional Gabbeh rugs were woven on makeshift ground looms. These looms are built with materials are carried long distances by the nomadic tribes, or materials found where the tribe settled. Since each loom is unique, each rug is unique; this is how Gabbeh rugs get their distinctive irregular in shape.

Gabbeh rugs are woven from high quality wool from the tribe’s own sheep. As the tribe herds its sheep over hundreds of miles, the nomads reach high altitudes. In the summers, they stay in the highland pastures north of Shiraz in the Zargos Mountains; by winter they sojourn to pasture lands near the Persian Gulf. Sheep grazed in high altitudes produce more lanolin, giving their wool a luxurious softness and resistance to stain.

Rich, Colorful Dyes Give Gabbeh Carpets a Remarkable Color

The Qashqai people find the dyes used in Gabbeh carpets or purchase them in towns where they trade their finished carpets. Often, they use all-natural vegetable dyes to give the wool vibrant color while retaining its lanolin.

Hand-Knotted Rugs with Turkish Symmetrical Knots and Persian Asymmetrical Knots

Most of the wool used in the construction of Gabbeh rugs is handspun using a drop spindle. After the wool has been dyed and handspun, the weaver uses the loom to hand-knot the rug using Turkish symmetrical knots or Persian asymmetrical knots, or even a combination of the two. Because the all the Qashqai tribes use both types of knots, it is difficult to tell from which individual tribe any one rug has come from.

Gabbeh Rugs Are Small – Often Just 3’ x 5’ in Size

A typical size for a Gabbeh carpet is 3 feet by 5 feet. It can take 18 to 25 hours to weave even a small Gabbeh rug. Tribal Gabbeh rugs usually have lower knot counts compared to other types of Persian carpet. This low knot count and the high quality of wool makes Gabbeh rugs famous for their exceptional durability.

Durable Floor Coverings, Wraps and Bedding to Protect from the Mountain Cold

Gabbeh rugs are often floppy because they have wider rows of multiple wefts. This made the soft, pliable rugs ideal as wraps or bedding to insulate against the bitter cold of the mountains.

Gabbeh rugs are often not symmetrical due to the nomadic lifestyle of their creators, and color variations within a rug are common. Often, the variation in color in a rug tells a story of the tribe’s migration, the climates and environments it encountered, and the tribe members who contributed to its creation.
