Legend is an appropriate , in Tashkent , these carpets were apparently popular , many were imported , and now they found a lot in the sale.
On the sale , so the tale , it will be difficult , these rugs Kashgar is not of good quality , cotton base , rough rugs, rustic picture . More evident in wool carpets badly treated and loves to chew mol, which can be seen on your , places where defects . How much I have not seen them , they were partially damaged by moths . Do you he still quite small, but mostly they were woven large. If he had been earlier , vintage, at the beginning of the 20th century , it was still met with good carpets paints a more interesting picture , but alas here .

The world-famous online auction ebay.com are sold 100 to $ 300 , depending on the state , somewhere in that range , and you can sell it, but will not be easy .

Met here interesting sketch of Russian ambassador to Persia, last quarter of the 19th century , very interestingly written about trade Persian carpets of the period , it becomes clear why Europe found so many quality antique carpets and so little in Russia.

was reported in a recent essay on the Tehran bazaar , I said nothing about foreign trade of Persia , and therefore try to fill this gap now . Persia, as is known, trades mostly with Russia and England , from other countries as you will see very few products in the market , is Bohemian glass yes two shops with French rot and toys. Russian steel products gradually displace English, which used to be crowded with Persian markets , but it is to master the market or supplant English goods - Russian is not necessary. I think the main reason for that - you Russian merchants who recently although the Persians began to understand the taste , but not yet fully understand their requirements. Pearce requires that the goods were cheap and durable if it - it looks a little Persian . English is understood and they give it to taste any rot , marriage, but cheap , and our merchant , though firm Konshina , boasts the kindness of their goods , but can not sell cheaper than the British. In addition, the Russian will not be satisfied with a small percentage , but certainly wants to amass Asian 100 100 , based on the fact that it is not for nothing that he tried to go to Asia , - twenty-five percent as possible and in the Russian trade. British argue otherwise , but because they are faster and trade . Russia carries products in Persia on two roads : either through the Caucasus to the Julfa - Tabriz , or across the Caspian Sea in Rasht, or Astrabad or Anzali ( Persian pier ), but more is preferred , it seems , the last road across the sea , as the Caucasus mountains not always passable. From Russia driven mainly red goods - calico, muslin , wool and even silks and velvets . Then , driven by copper and iron products , tawdry braid , officer things and even sinelkovye (called French ) carpets and other minor things . England has two paths: one path through Bandar Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, where there are all sorts of Indian goods , such as: spices, and the other - in Asiatic Turkey , Trabzon . This way the British mainly driven by red goods.

What gives us instead of Persia ? She gives rice and dried fruit , yes Plohenky oblique " famous Persian carpets" sold at exorbitant prices we . To explain to the reader why I put " Plohenky and oblique carpets" (though I myself an admirer of good Persian rugs ) Unfortunately, I have to say that in Russia except the most wealthy can afford to have a good Persian rugs by writing them through the firm of Ziegler or an acquaintance , through his attorney in Tehran , Mr. Broglie . Otherwise, Russia can not find a Persian rug is not defective , he will not fast or thin paints, or oblique and uneven . The whole marriage being taken to Russia , and good carpets to remain in Persia and go to England. I must say that the production of carpets involved entire villages in some districts , but because the carpets are worn and different names : Kharasan , faraganskie , etc. It is these districts , so to speak , at the mercy of the British : the actual written contract is not concluded, but agents from the British companies led by Mr. Broglie , go around these districts and give residents advance money for the last obliged to work only for them, so all the best carpets in the hands of British firms .

Carpets worked on simple machines and hands on anyone, even the European pattern , which will order . I've seen one big , wonderful made ​​carpet with the image in the middle of the Russian eagle on a white background . This carpet is presented to Prince D. Emperor Alexander III; such a carpet can gaze at but should be, and it cost a lot of money . Carpets come in on thread , wool and silk -based , the latter are valued much more. There are quite silk carpets , ie, base and top of the silk , but these carpets are a little curry and huge sums. I've seen a carpet in five feet long, with a wonderful sheen, near the city of Broglie , who sent him to the exhibition and appreciated the 50,000 francs. I must say that from the time that the Shah of Persia allowed the importation of aniline dye , carpets soured , although they say now again banned the import of this paint in Persia. In Russia, known for the most part two kinds Persian rugs : Kharasan and faraganskie . First - worse , they and ploshe fabric , paint and so long kept , like faraganskih , but recent and much more. Now, it seems to me , the reader is clear that we in Russia do not get these Persian rugs, and all unhappily for big money and marriage .
