Some History of Persian and Oriental Rugs

More than a hundred miles east of City Bokhara and still in Russian territory, on a branch of the Oxus River, is Samarkand, once famed for its learning, and the center of college life in Asia. It contains the tomb of Tamerlane and the ruins of many grand buildings. Even in its decay its public square is said to rival that of St. Mark's at Venice. The surrounding country is very fertile, and noted for its beauty, fine fruits, and delightful climate

.
Tamerlane brought artists from Persian captured Persian cities to his capital; and so the art of rug-weaving was conveyed to these people by experts, and to-day, although hundreds of miles from Persia, we see traces of her influence, although the Chinese characteristics predominate.

Rugs The Samarkand rugs are of fine, loose texture, almost like silk with their rich, heavy nap. Antiques are rare and of exceptionally refined colors, and the modern fabrics are very attractive.
Design The field is usually blue or red, but sometimes golden brown, soft fawn, or a mellow gray, with the Chinese fret or wavy lines covering it, and with from one to five disks in soft yellow, red, or blue, symmetrically scattered through it. Within each disk is often the figure of a dragon surrounded by cloud bands. Or sometimes the center is divided into squares with conventional designs within. In the modern rugs there is often a fretwork bordering the field within the border proper. The borders consist of coordinate stripes, sometimes the outer one a little wider than the others, and finished with a band of solid color. The inner border usually has the Greek meander, the outer one with floral patterns connected with the wavy lines of the Persian borders, and the middle one has figures corresponding to the center.

The warp is coarse cotton or silk, the Materials woof cotton or wool, and, like the Kasaks, is thrown across a number of times between each row of knots. The pile is of loosely spun wool or of silk and wool. The sides are selvaged, sometimes in two colors like the Yomut rugs, and the ends are finished like the Turkoman rugs, with web and fringe.
The modern rugs have deteriorated somewhat from the high standards of early times.
