Oriental Wool Rugs – Country – City or Contemporary?

Country

(Heriz Persian Rug – Country)

Country rugs have a reputation for using natural dyes and bold and geometric patterns that are unique to each community. Because the dyes are natural, country rug weavers often use less color in each rug. The age-old process started with nomadic tribes in Mongolia and Turkey and continues today to define the cultural heritage of many countries throughout Asia and the Middle East.

The process may begin in a pasture where men shear the sheep. The wool is then spun and dyed, preferably using natural plants such as indigo, madder, pomegranates or oak.

The wool is then brought into villages where the women of extended families sit together around a loom and weave designs that are integral to their history, religion, and way of life. Often children sit alongside their aunts and mothers to learn this art. Designs of country rugs are often bold and geometric. When figures are used, they are hieroglyphic in appearance. Curvilinear patterns are not used as often.
