Nomadic Carpets – The History and Science of Carpets

Nomadic carpets inspire many calm colors and geometric patterns and shapes. There is also a classic, nomadic design, which can be used to create a bright interior design. The Orient is home to many larger and smaller nomadic tribes who have a long tradition of weaving hand-knotted rugs for their own use.

The most famous nomadic rugs are the ones shown below:

Yalameh carpets: The Yalameh carpet is very fine. If you want to have a geometric look, you can also use it to make it look modern. Yalameh carpets have a long and fascinating history that dates back to the traditions of the Iranian nomads. Named after the Yalameh region in southwestern Iran, these hand-knotted masterpieces are known for their unique designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The rugs reflect the cultural identity and pride of the Yalameh tribes and pay tribute to their traditional way of life.

Yalameh rugs are characterized by elaborate patterns, vibrant colors and fine knotting.The rug tells a story with symbols and motifs that reflect the cultural values and everyday life of nomads. A combination of geometric aspects, various forms of abstraction and abstraction, both are decorative and aesthetic. Yalameh rugs are made from high quality wool that is hand-spun and dyed with natural dyes, a testament to exceptional quality and durability. The careful handwork of skilled weavers gives the carpets a special suppleness and durability. You don’t have to worry about it, but you also have to invest in something that looks to do it again. Yalameh carpet is also a modern style in interior design and has a beautiful mist with the tradition of exoticism. Whether they are found in the living room, bedroom or office, they warm a welcoming atmosphere and add an artistic touch to enrich the interior.

Shiraz carpets: The Shiraz carpet is a relatively coarse carpet with excellent quality wool, woven by nomads around the Persian city of Shiraz. Shiraz is an ancient Persian city with a frequent history that began in Persia. The most important thing is to know how to use the Slavic Persian Basnik Hafiz. It is said that carpets have been hand-knotted in the Shiraz area for over 1000 years. Unlike most traditional nomadic carpets, Shiraz carpets are less flamboyant and colourful, but rather nomadically knotted from wool. This means you can have a nice alternative. There are also the well-known Gashgai carpets near the city, which are a bit finer but also cost more than Shiraz carpets.

Turkmen Carpets: The Turkmens are a large Central Asian tribe with a very ancient knotted culture. This is a very beautiful knotting industry that has everything you need, and you can also see the Turkmen language in Bukhara, which has a lot to offer. The Turkmens are a very old people who have lived in the area from the Caspian Sea to the western border of China for over 1500 years. Divided into various larger and smaller tribes, they have turned away from their once nomadic culture and have now settled down. Among the most prominent groups are the Tekke, Yomut and Salor tribes. They are by far the largest population group in Turkmenistan today, living in the northern parts of Afghanistan and Iran.

The Motifs of Turkmen carpets are considered the oldest of all oriental carpets. Their great diversity and the long tradition of their weaving art have often been the subject of research. Turkmen carpets are closely related to Afghan carpets, which were strongly influenced by them. Today it is believed that the knotting craft entered the country via the Turkmens in northern Afghanistan. The two types of carpets are also very similar in their colours, relying on deep red to brown tones.

Gashghai carpets: Gashghai is very similar to Shiraz in shape, colour and pattern, but is knotted with a greater number of knots per square metre. The knots are made by the large Gashghai tribe in southern Iran. The Gashgai are a nomadic people who live in the southwestern Persian city of Shiraz. The Gashgai consists of many different tribes, the most famous and numerous of which are the Farsimadan, Kashkuli, Dare Shuri and Shish Baluki. Other smaller tribes include the Safi Khani and Rahimi. There are about 25,000 families among the Gashgai, who in turn form family groups. Its name has become famous in the world because of its car, among other things. A carpet from this tribe is one of the finer and more valuable nomadic carpets and therefore stands out from the usually somewhat simpler Shiraz carpets. The Gashgai carpet is usually decorated with a triple diamond arranged lengthwise. The colours of the Gashgai carpet are usually a beautiful red and blue. Some of the Gashgai carpets are decorated with only a single diamond, which is intricately decorated inside. Floral or animal designs can often be found on the carpet.

Manufacture of hand knotted Gashgai carpet has a very long tradition of knotting carpets. Their craftsmanship is second to none. Gashgai carpets are considered to be the best in carpet making, which takes place mainly in the province of Fars, which is why carpets are often sold under their name in Shiraz . Old Gashgai – nomadic carpets are always knotted on a wool warp. Their pattern is almost symmetrical, but slightly irregular, as the rugs are not knotted according to any template, but rather based on the situational inspiration of the weaver. Modern Gashgai rugs are made on cotton warp by today’s sedentary weavers.

Cleaning and maintenance of nomadic rugs

Nomadic carpets with natural material require professional care. It is not recommended to attempt home deep cleaning by means of a steam cleaner from the back and front, as the steam cleaner is unable to clean it all and the excessive heat penetrating it damages the wool and its natural lanolin. Excessive temperature can also lead to shrinkage of the natural fibres of nomadic carpets, putting you at risk of permanent damage.

Home care for nomadic carpets is simple. Regular weekly vacuuming ideally with a knocking head will not harm it for decades. The natural vegetable dyes, dense weave and natural grease of virgin wool provide protection so most dirt won’t penetrate the carpet at all. Only the smallest particles of sand and dust can settle in the foundation over time. In order to remove even the smallest dust particles from the carpet, it is recommended to have the carpet deep cleaned every 2-3 years by an expert – professional natural carpet cleaner.

In everyday life, nomadic carpets know only two enemies: red wine and years of sunlight. Red wine stains can be treated, but cleaning is very time-consuming and therefore a non-negligible cost factor. To prevent one-sided exposure of the carpet to sunlight, it helps to rotate the carpet frequently at even intervals so that both sides are exposed to similar amounts of sunlight. The sun does not necessarily lead to a reduction in the value of the carpet. Many old and antique nomadic rugs have only become particularly beautiful and valuable through even exposure to sunlight. Some nomadic rugs are even exposed to the sun for long periods of time to give the colour a brighter and more balanced sheen.

If a nomadic rug only comes into contact with water, it usually just needs to be thoroughly dried on both sides. The carpet will lift for several days when wet, as the warp expands due to the moisture. Once the moisture has escaped from the carpet, the warp will settle again and the carpet will not change. Heavy rubbing of water stains in dry conditions or the use of cleaning agents should be avoided, as both can damage the nomadic carpet. In the case of coffee or cola stains, you should contact a professional as soon as possible. You can treat the stain yourself using lukewarm water and dishwashing detergent. However, you should seek professional advice before doing so.

Mould removal + mould prevention for older nomadic carpets that may smell of mould or damp smell is important not to neglect, as natural carpets have a natural tendency to retain moisture which later leads to mould. There are several ways you can get rid of unpleasant odours by cleaning your carpets:

• Leave a nomadic rug in sunlight for a few hours.
• Blow dry the carpet with a fan on both sides, remembering to work in sections.
• Take the carpet to a professional carpet cleaner – this is a guaranteed way to get rid of mould from a nomadic carpet.

The professional carpet cleaning and the reputable nomadic carpet maintenance provided through expertly skilled technology brings assurance that your nomadic carpet will not shrink, fade, or even show any damage.

• Most of the dirt and dust from the nomadic carpet is first removed by hand with gentle machinery, instead of running it through aggressive equipment that can damage your precious carpet.
• Depending on the material of your Nomad carpet, we will use a specialized stain remover to thoroughly remove or reduce the stain depending on the condition of the carpet.
• Depending on the material, your rug will either be cleaned in a water bath and then dry cleaned using special “WOOL SAFE” chemical cleaners.
• Nomadic carpets are then dried as best as possible to remove excess moisture and allowed to dry and turned off.
• Finally, we thoroughly disinfect and impregnate the Nomad rug and after a thorough inspection, we wrap it and prepare it for delivery or transport to you.

How you can protect the rug from damage

• Moth larvae nesting in nomadic carpets are quite common and can be kept under control by regular vacuuming, leaving the carpets in sunlight for a few hours and also by having them professionally cleaned.
• If you want to store nomadic carpets in a warehouse, it is best to have them professionally cleaned and kept in an enclosed area to prevent dirt from getting on them.
• Always store your rug in a clean, dry area, as moisture causes damage to the rug.
• To avoid excessive pressure on the carpet, use furniture covers on the legs of tables and chairs.
• Use thick rubber pads under loose rugs to prevent them from sliding. They also help manage the weight of the furniture.

In conclusion, it’s always better to have nomadic rugs cleaned by a professional than to try to do it yourself. This is because the more likely a mistake is to be made, the more your carpet will be damaged or may become locally degraded and even irreversibly so.
