The colours of each carpet look different depending on the side from which you look at it. You can see the carpet from different perspectives in the images below:
(click on the images below for greater detail)
Vintage Carpets : Vintage carpets by Carpetu2 are produced from older Persian handmade carpets aged at least 40-60 years with a long history.
Each carpet is carefully selected and subjected to a unique process of reducing the pile to a minimum and neutralizing the color before to be painted in a new exciting color.
The result is a combination of the old with the new, the traditional carpet design combined with a modern retro style.
Vintage carpets can lose some of their original features and become even more unique in their appearance over time in modern new colors and old unique designs.
It has been processed with indelible color.
Joshaghan Carpets : Joshaghan is a town located in central Iran, north of Isfahan city and very close to the town of Kashan. Characteristic designs of the Joshaghan carpets are Rhombi. Also characteristic are the repetitive designs of flowers "mina khani", henna flowers, or even pomegranate trees. On the borders there are perimetrically woven meanders. Red is the dominant color used on a blue or beige background. The best carpets are from the Joshaghan and are called Muchakar or Murcecar and Meymeh.
Nomadic carpets: Carpets woven by nomads. Nomads move continuously and do not stay permanently in one geographic region. They manufacture (weave) handmade carpets on collapsible looms. Due to that fact there may be slight variations in weaving and their carpets are sometimes uneven in shape. Also the weaving is made from memory and it depends on each artisans momentary inspiration. As a result, the designs in some carpets are not even on the entire surface.
All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.
Horizontal or vertical shading in the carpet pile: The shading is due to folding the carpet during transportation. When the carpet is laid and stepped-on they will vanish. Examples
Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the carpet. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the carpets. Examples
