Antique Turkish "Byzantine Greek Orthodox" Zile Yahyali rug
DSC02299.JPGThis is an interesting subject that I have personally  only recently researched to find out more information on. To start with a little history lesson, I'll be brief; for nearly 2000 years there were Byzantine Greek orthodox christians living in Anatolia. This real estate we know of today as Turkey, has only been that for the last 90 years or so, prior to that it was owned by the Romans, Tartars(Alexander the Great), Selcuks, Ottomans, Greeks and then finally in 1922 became the Turkish Republic. In essence until the 1914-1922 displacement of Greek populations from Anatolia to Greece and Turkish from Greece to Turkey, the Ottomans governed both peoples in Anatolia, even handedly, even though 1 people were Christian and the other Muslim. Yes, they lived seperately but they cohabited nicely without genocidal violence, until the end of the First World War, which occasioned the Turkish wars of independance from Greek rule and eventually the Republic of Turkey was born. Both sides carried out monsterous atrocities against each other and the Armenians. So, history lesson over, its way more complex than this but lets get back to rugs. Now, this rug is from the village of Yahyali (Greek Yahyali) made by Greek weavers who took Anatolian weaving techniques and embelished them with their own motifs, dyeing practices and skillful workmanship and produced such beauties as this Zile Yahyali, for that is what they are called. There were also 2 Kayseris, 1 Greek 1 Ottoman, and a rug I will be soon displaying is one such. This Zile Yahyali is old, between 100-120 years old, and yet in absolutely superb condition, the knotting very fine, the sides (selvages) very intact, pile is low but uniformly even and best of all the 100% vegetable dyed wool is still vibrant and alive, with even some abrash. The motifs are gorgeous, and complex and quite different from an Ottoman Yahyali rug. Feast your eyes upon this one because this is a very, very rare specimen. For more information on this rug follow this link to Rugrabbit where you can see more pictures of the Yahyali and email questions to me.

THE BIRTH OF RUG HUNTER.US
let me introduce you to a new concept, for many people trying to find a hand-made Oriental rug which suits their decor, is aesthetically pleasing and doesn't  break the bank is a challenge. You can visit stores, speciality Oriental rug emporiums or visit sites like mine online and continue searching, until now! www.rughunter.us is a new concept, where we put you in the driving seat and we do all of the hard work. I have already been doing this with a few clients, with great success. Here is how it works, if you know the colors you want, the type of design, perhaps type ie. Persian Tabriz or Turkish Milas Prayer Rug, size and of course crucially budget. Then I task my people around Asia Minor, who already do a similar job for me alone, with finding such a rug or a few examples. Once they have these they photograph then and send the photos to me, and I pass them onto you. Perhaps there are 4 examples and you really like one of them. I ship the rug to me, inspect and sometimes clean it, check it all to make sure it is defect free and then I ship it to you, you have a week to decide, if you like it you keep it and pay me the agreed upon price, everyone is happy, and I move onto the next clients needs. Email me @ paul@rughunter.us for more details.

RUG CLEANING 101
DSC00176.JPG

ok, Well I will get this blog going later on today, if you need help right now, call me on +1-503-398-5002 and I'll help ya out, should get this BLOG done later on today Sunday Mar 06'th 2011 ... later ! Its later, well no mystery to this. It doesnt matter if your rug is made from wool, a mix or silk, basically just treat it gently. So I use a mixture of a product called Orvus paste and Oxyclean which I mix in a bucket about 1 tablespoon of Orvus and 1/2 scoop of oxyclean mixed thoroughly. Then I wet the rug, or kilim thoroughly, and then sprinkle onto it some shampoo. I use a brush with fairly stiff fibres, work it back and forth until it generates a lot of foam, work it into the fibres to loosen any dirt. Then, use a hose with a good bit of pressure to force out the dirt, grime and particulate matter, work from one end to the other with the nap if its a rug. I do this on my wood deck, which works well to sluice away the water. Turn over and do the same on the reverse side of the rug or kilim. Then I hang it over my deck railing and continue hosing it down until all vestiges of the shampoo have gone. Now it the turn of the sun and wind, try and do this on a dry day, you'll get a better result. it does take hours, so, I generally do a bunch of rugs in the early morning and give them the whole day to drip dry. Hours later, your rug will still be damp, the kilim may well have dried out already. So, an easy way to dry it our is over a tressle of some kind, preferably inside and in a warm environment, or artificially accelerate the process by introducing a warm air fan heater playing gently back and forth. 24 hours later your rug will be dry, but stiff, if its wool. Just use a hand vac to run up and down the fibers and you will bring them to life again. The end result, a clean and vibrant rug or kilim again. Just a word to the wise, if your rug is not naturally dyed, its possible the colours will run, but they will only do this if they are left "wet" for any length of time, so guard against this. Stubborn stains can be attacked with a product called Genesis 950 it'll basically take out almost any stain, including old paint in the fibers. Happy rug cleaning everyone !

Turkish Prayer Rugs - Kula and Ghiordes
Turkish_Kula_PR.jpg

Here is my dilemma with this rug, is this rug attributable to Ghiordes or Kula ? There are so many interesting aspects to this rug that I can identify, just through the photographs I have. There is always a tussel between experts about whether a rug is a Gordes (would have 2 dots over the o to make it a Turkish word) or a Kula, as the crow flies its 33 miles distance between them, so these 2 centres of weaving are close, as incidentally are most Anatolian weaving "villages". So what is the main difference between them, in actuality none, save one. And, that is the contruction, cotton is used by weaver rather than wool for one aspect, often only in the warp, which are the threads which horizontally form the foundation of a rug, cotton gives more stability and less flexation, what does this give .. a deal less flex and therefore in, for instance if its a long rug better integrity in its length. The whole damm issue is about cotton, is the foundation cotton, that I do not know now, but I will when I get my mitts on it. Until then is a small mystery .... I'll follow up. Here is the follow up ... this is a Ghiordes !

Caucasian Kazak Rugs - FACHRALO KAZAK
Caucasian_Kazak01.jpg

Its been an age since I had the time to Blog, and during that time stuff happened, not the least of which was breaking both my ankles last November. Anyways, I want to talk about Caucasian rugs, there are books and books available as reference material, but where do you go when you are having a hard time identifying something. I had such a problem with a Karabagh Boteh Runner I had, thankfully a new friend in Baku, Azerbaijan gave me me some great observations on not only that but the rug I am displaying, which is a wonderful and fairly rare octagonal medallion Fachralo Kazak rug. So whats different about this rug ? Well for a start its old, at least 100 years old and in exceptional condition. Its a Fachralo, but not the usual, but then the rules are always being broken by Caucasian rugs, a wealth of outside influences and intermingling of Tribes, religions and ancient traditions make this a constant. It has the signature trademark of a "T-Meander" border, with the incorporation of a Shirvan stripe also, but many more things add up, my ebay listing for this rug describes its hallmarks and points towards other references in verification of my observations. as if I needed any, I was pointed in the exact direction by my expert friend in Baku. There is a huge market for Caucasian rugs in the USA, possibly unrequitable, however the source is not inexhaustible. Although, there is a reassurgence in traditional rug making, just as in Turkey with the DOBAG project. Caucasian rugs are tricky to identify because there are so many influences in their birth. Persian, Turkish, Armenian, Turkoman, Afshari and other tribes, so much so the close identifying of a rug invloves sleuthing worthy of Perry Mason. There are always clues to point the avic rughead in the right direction, or wrong direction for that matter. Here are but a few, design and motifs, size, materials ie. all wool, cotton and wool, shoots of wool, 1, 2 or 3, coloration of wool, knot count, type of knot Turkish or Persian, warp and weft, depressed or straight and even down to how the wool was spun. As much as I know now, another 100 years would only scratch the surface of this fascinating world of rug and carpet weaving. In March I am off to Istanbul, Ushak and Konya on a buying trip and hopefully also incorporating a few days in Baku, Azerbaijan. Watch this space, I hope to regale you with some incredible new rug finds in the next few months.

Dun roaming !
moving-house1.jpgIt is quite poignant at the moment for me to write about this specific subject, in a word "moving". I was quite shocked to find out about a friend of mine moving out of my neighbourhood, well somewhat ! Of course, I wish my friend well, she deserves that and a whole lot more. Articulating this, is, well some what difficile for me. Honestly, from personal experience, its an epic of Hollywood proportions to even begin to chart my own cartwheeling around this globe. So I will not belabour particularly my angst, just to bring some highlights ! How about this, the English Army in its absolute stupidity, sent me from Cyprus to Germany and within 6 weeks turned me around and reposted me back to Cyprus. Enough of the English Army, I have no respect, it is governed by imbeciles and its Officer Corps are basically incompetant nincompoops. Now, back to moving, I have several times moved across Oceans. This many not be a lexicon, however in word it it is a phraseology to live to move by. For instance, did you use this in the last 6 months, has it sat for years in your loft, is it clogging your garage up, do you even know what this is ? Has it got cobwebbs on it ? In your freezer does it say "July 2005 ?" and more. All of the above suggests its time to repatriate those things to the "dump". Its a great time to downsize. From a personal viewpoint, I lived for 2 years with only one seabag full of everything I needed, it was all I possessed in my Ocean skippering travels, and salutory it was. I actually loved it, quite liberating. In order for something new to be acquired, an unnecessary thing had to be disposed of, it was simple ergonomics, that was the rule and it worked. But, In this life there is a drive to surround ourselves with things we really do not need. Supposedly to make us happy and fulfilled. I purpose that they do not do that. Fundamentally and instead, I suggest, focus on what you really have, not intangibles, or even perhaps others dreams. Live for number one today; its actually OK, not having to live the vicarious media driven needs of others.  And so, what is the point of this dialogue, for me its this; only your heart has within it what is required to sustain you alone. All else is transitory and actually nothing more than garbage to be consigned to the landfill of current human existance ....... Moving positively forward, having a goal and being true to yourself, will sustain anyone. I guarantee it. I know because I have been all of the above. And, as a final word, if you can't downsize, then you had better get a big U-Hawl Truck ....... because you will need one for both physical and non-physical baggage !

CAUCASIAN DAGHESTANI RUGS
Caucasian_Kazak01.jpgCaucasian rugs have been imported into the United States for a very long time, perhaps as much as 150 years. Principally brought by immigrant refugees from Amenian/Georgia/Azerbaijan/Dagestan, four countries/provinces which abutt each other and which were and are prolific carpet weaving regions close to both the Black and Caspian seas. Certainly borders are blended by the peoples who live throughout this region through intermingling, but there are defininate weaving styles, characteristics and motifs which are readily identifiable even down to individual villages. This particular rug is an antique from Daghestan, Russia, which is in extraordinary condition for its age, around 1890 or so. Walter E. Hawley's treatise originally published in 1913 entitled Oriental Rugs Antique and Modern has a whole chapter dedicated to these rugs, let me leave you with his opening comment; "In no part of Caucasia have better rugs been woven than in Daghestan". Provenance of any rug is and can be somewhat problematic, in this case Hawley has more than adequately explained the attributes of rugs such as this. He is not alone, another great  writer and descriptor, Italian Fabio Formenton has a greatly descriptive book, Oriental Rugs and Carpets, also with a chapter on Daghestan which is fascinating. All of these learned works are both great teaching tools and captivating reading for us "rug heads", but all aside and inclusive of all I have learned through the years of being fascinated by rugs, there is one overriding principle I live by and that is to not just buy a rug because it is either valuable or an investment for the future, my number one criterion is you gotta love it first !

Turkish Taspinar carpets and rugs
TTCC_gallery/TaspinarTA02_02.jpgThe town of Taspinar (TAŞPINAR) literal meaning "rock spring" is located in Anatolia sort of equidistant from Konya, Ladik and Nigde, in a region often described as Cappadocia. This was an area the Sulcuks settled in then they immigrated from central asia around the 12'th century, the Selcuks being quite warrior like became favourites of the Ottoman Sultan of the day, and favoured "Pretorian Guard" type soldiers. Together with these attributes they brought a wealth of other talents not the least rug weaving, which was commented upon by Marco Polo, none the less, on his travels through the region. The rug weaving continued and florished into what we see and can purchase today, handed down from mother to daughter in time unaltered traditions. Taspinar rugs are often characterized by a large central medallion most often set in a ruby red field which is octagonal and stepped. Not generally one medallion but often as many as 3 superimposed on one another, this makes for a wonderful complexity. The spandrells are generally gorgeous floral or vine depictions. Most often 1 main border is flanked by two minor meanders of carnations. The quality of these rugs is second to none, lambs wool most often vegetably dyed, strident colours of blues, reds, gold and browns startlingly punctuated with undyed white wool, just as this wonderful carpet depicts. Taspinars are an undervalued Turkish class of rug, I think because nobody truly understands them, their value hasn't been extolled like Kayseri or Hereke rugs, often they have been miscategorized as "yuruk" or nomad rugs. However, they are a category of rug you should definitely have in your collection.

Operation Iraqi living Hell !
   Iraq-flag.gif So now its a New Dawn that Iraqi's are waking up to, looks like Operation SSDD to me. its reprehensible that US and UK politicians can think that they have made such changes that they pull out US troops, UK already turned tail, leaving this ravaged country with a devastated infrastructure, in a political shambles with a rabble for its security forces. There's not much reason to look back at the crimes perpetrated by George Bush and Tony Blair in their "weapons of mass destruction" fallacy, except to say that Saddam Hussain isn't quite so much the evil dictator as both of these goons are. In Bush's case, stupidity ruled his inadequacy as a President, Blair on the other hand I'm sure knew what he was doing, he needed his Thatcher/John Major moment in history. Enough of them, how about the thousands of lives lost, our brave US/UK and coalition warriors. And then, what of the 100's of thousands of Iraqi's ? For what? what they are left with is a beautiful country ruined by the egos of western meglomaniacs. Whatever Saddam was, and none would want him back, ordinary Iraqis had power, water, food and normalcy of a sort, untainted by massive car bombs killing scores of people. The real winners in all of this are indubitably the Kurds of Northern Iraq. As for the rest of Iraq, I can only see this going down in history as another shameful episode of imperialism, both Britons and Americans should be thoroughly ashamed at this result. As to Afganistan, lets not even go there. Not trying to draw any parallels, with Saddam in Iraq, but Gengis Khan was the last "warlord" to hold Afganistan in check ............. et al ? Yes questionable !

The Arcane and Mysterious art of SEO and Google search
google_logo.jpgNow, I am not usually one for profanity, but just lately I find myself wanting to say WTF about the mysterious and totally B****cks goofiness which is categorised as Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Anyone else out there running a small business with a website who is as flumoxed as I am? I get bucketloads of offers from dubious companies offering to get me into the top 10 placements of my chosen "keyword or words", or links that I "buy" from them. Now I am not talking small beer, sums like $1-5,000 are bandied about. Who are these bandits, Google employees ? The internet is just a den for thieves now, and the honest truth is that they cannot guarantee you absolutely anything. I confess, I have fallen afoul of them a company called Axandra, from Germany, who took $250 of me, and promised me the known world ala Monty Python's Life of Brian when Brian's mum states that he is the son of a Centurian called Naughtius Maximus, who promised her the known World. In the end, my license ran out before I used the program and they demanded another $250 for the updates to be able to use it ..... another case of buyer beware ! My bottom line here is this, never mind all the shysters out there promising you the Known world of SEO, we like they are all bamboozled by Google who change their "algorithm" as often as a lady of the night changes her panties. And, the reality check, no one knows what the heck their algorithm is, or even what it does. I rest my case !

Uncommon but a center of village excellence - Dazkiri
DazkiriTA09_06.jpgDazkiriTA09_06.jpg
Now this is an exceptional example of Turkish Anatolian weaving, it is more than 100 years old, Circa 1900, there are possibly only 2 or 3 people on this earth, who are still alive when this was made. Dazkiri is a small town in the province of Afyonkarahisar in Western-Anatolia close to the Turkey's Agean Mediterranean coast. Few if any rugs have been made in this region for decades, most village cottage industry having migrated to the coast around Milas. Why is this rug important, well there are extremely few examples still existant, never mind in as excellent condition as this one is. It is made from fine sheeps wool, naturally dyed, a facet of this is that there is absolutely no colour bleed from the walnut and saffron dyed wool into the natural wool surrounding the large main medallion. Dazkiri villagers were unique in their selections of colours, yellows, brown walnut, almost orange hues and pristine undyed natural wool. This rug is Abrashed, meaning the rug has colour variences from its beginning to the top, because the weaver ran out of her dyed wool and had to sympathetically try and match a new batch, this is not an exact science and so colour variations in old rugs are a natural occurance. The closest example I have seen to this is exhibitted on Barry O'Connell's BLOG about Turkish Rugs, an example sold at auction 3 years ago for 18,500 Euros, check that one out at this link DAZKIRI RUG . Mine is in perfect condition, I have owned it for around 5 years now, found it in Cappadoccia on a rug hunt, on horseback, with a Turkish friend of mine, one weekend when I wasn't sailing.

To Speak In Tongues
Well here is a superlative addition to the TTCC website, a translation service powered by Google. I have been deliberating on this oft times and yet there was a very easy solution right before me. This is in its early days, I want to add a few more languages to it, not the least including Arabic, Farsi, Turkish and a few more other than middle-eastern languages. Really, its not that I want or intend to sell to people in those countires, altho' all selling is good. But, as my web site progresses, I want it to be informative as well as a platform for making money, after all this really began for me as just an interest, not a business. And so it has progressed to such, but I'll never lose sight of the fact that I am supplying a unique item to my customers, and so I want all of them and anyone else who visits my site or reads my blog to have the same privilages. I hope this addition proves useful to all, and I'd certainly like some feedback. I have it also in mind to replace this BLOG with a more user friendly interface, which will allow more interaction, its in the wings and just will take me a little while to develop and test before going fully online. For now, for all of my international visitors, I hope this will make things easier for y'all. Best regards to all, Paulo.

HOW A LITTLE LEARNING GOES A LONG WAY

The Turkish Carpet Company Talking of Turkish rugs, I have just come across this excellent BLOG by a gentleman called Mitch Weisburgh from a couple of years ago entitled "What I learned buying a rug in Turkey" its both humerous and informative and well worth a read.  Here is the link: http://academicbiz.typepad.com/piloted/2007/01/what_i_learned_.html.

To eBay or not to eBay, now that is the question ?
I have used eBay as a selling platform for my rug business for 4 years now, well until March of this year when I closed my store and set up my own fully functional website store here on TTCC. To be sure eBay did give me great exposure, and generally speaking it worked fairly well. So I hear you saying, "why did we fall out" ? Well, for 2 perhaps more reasons, and I am sure my reasonings will apply to millions of other small businesses and what are they, well number one would be the change in the way they displayed "ALL" listing; prior to April 2010  my listings both auction and often store items would compete amongst mebbe 250 others, and often times still littered with 100 kilim cushion covers which had been listed as vintage or antique, what a joke. Well, laudably my customers still found me amongst all of that and I guess I averaged around 150 sales a year which allowed me my indulgence of my hobby and made me a credible living also. After April, my 1 or 2 listings were suddenly competing with upwards of 3500 listings, and sales dried up faster than a pond in the Sahara desert. Reluctantly I closed my eBay store and set about fully promoting my products myself on my own website the TTCC. Now this is still early days, as when i launched it I would be around page 30 in Google page rank listing. Today I am top of page 2 and soon will achieve my goal of being on page 1. I am gonna blow my trumpet now, I am competing with thousands of rug companies with stellar budgets. I'm told that the coveted place on page one will probably value my company at 1/2 million dollars or more, this is not the most important thing for me. I'll still promote my ethical sale of excellent quality Turkish and Oriental rugs at a good price to my customers. As to eBay, perhaps I will still list the odd rug here and there just to keep my hand in. When I first started using them, in total my costs averaged about 5 percent, now they charge a whopping flat rate of 9 percent, and the only method they offer of accepting payment is their offshoot company PayPal which takes another 3 percent, all told 12% now who can exist with that, and there are no guarantees of sales. My customer base will increase again and sales too I am sure. Will I miss eBay, probably not, will they miss me ? I doubt it, my $6,000 a year they made off me is a drop in their vast Ocean, now extrapolate that by several million small businesses like me who jumped ship and yes they'll be hurting. Will they win us back, probably not I think we have all learnt our lessons from them all too keenly.

Paul's Blind Auction
I have been thinking about this for a little while now and have not really ironed out all the wrinkles, however the largess of it is, I am going to hold a "monthly" (to start with) blind auction for a rug of my choosing, on the TTCC website. I'll choose a nice rug and feature it including a guide price, almost like a reserve price, which will be less than 1/2 of the value of the rug. I'll invite bids by email which will be held by myself until the day of the auction. On auction day, I'll accept telephone bids, even from existent email bidders on the bidding day, and of course the person with the highest bid will win. If no one hits the reserve, I'll email the reserve price to all bidders and then I'll accept the first past the post telephone call. Could be a lot of fun, I'll get to perhaps sell a few more rugs and my customers will get some bargains into the "bargain", any comments or suggestions please email me @ paul@theturkishcarpetcompany.com Keep sweet, Paulo.

Sanctions on Iranian rugs and carpets
Well Sep 29'th the embargo on importation of many things Iranian comes into effect, including rugs and carpets. For some like myself this will have zero effect on my business, as I really do not deal in Persian/Iranian, for others this could be a big deal. The last embargo lasted from 1987-2000, lifted by Clinton, I doubt that would have transpired under Bush.. There could be a few things which transpire as a result, the prices of rugs as a whole could go up which would be a good thing, as prices have been depressed these past two years since the w***er bankers kicked us all in the goolies. Secondary to this it may force the Pakistani/Indian weavers/exporters to own up to the origin of their produce, I really can't see many people returning from their oriental vacation with a declared Persian/Iranian rug only to be stripped of it by US Custom, but you never know, some people will be totally ignorant about this embargo and how it affects things.

Eulogy to my Mum who passed away July 26, 2010 aged 83.

It is so poignant that I can not be with all of you to celebrate my mother's life. Alas, I had to return to the United States. But, I was with her, together with my 2 sisters, when her time came and that was what was most important to me.

I don’t know where to start so untypically I'll start at the end, my mother passed away peacefully and she is now one with my father James Moran and the universe and that is good. She was a most gracious person, and throughout my life has been a continual source of help across all aspects of our human condition, she was my mother firstly and then friend, confidant, teacher, source of succor, chider and a person who never placed blame but raised awareness. In particular, during the worst time in my life, 5 years ago, she raised me up, gave me a reason to put the past behind me and carry on, she said to me that all things pass and that time will heal a wounded spirit, for that I'll always be eternally grateful and thankful that she was who she was. But, I do know that no amount of time will heal the loss of my mum.

This comes to me like a giant 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle from which I have now lost the most important pieces, something I will now never be able to solve again. She is those lost pieces of a puzzle which I'll now have to put back in the box, yes to revisit from time to time, but it'll never be whole again.

I will miss my mother in so many ways, no more phone calls waking her at 11 PM because I was dippy and forgot we are so far behind in time zones here in Oregon, no more shopping for gifts which would be just perfect for her, no more flowers on 2 mothers days, UK and USA, no more sharing fish and chips from Greenhill’s chippy in East Kilbride, Scotland and most of all no more comforting hugs making it all good again.

Thank you mum for all you are to me and always will be, I love you and miss you more than these words can say.

I am and always will be proud to call you mother and to be your son.
