Depictions of Cypress trees are found in the designs of many Oriental rugs. It is sometimes depicted as a variation of the Tree of Life - which represents everlasting life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style and weave of this pictorial carpet is in the vein of a type of Gabbeh rug known as Loribaft. The name can be broken down into two: \"Lori\" is the name of a Persian nomadic tribe, and \"baft\" is farsi for woven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carpet was handmade in India and is influenced by the design vocabulary of Persian Gabbeh rugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this handmade pictorial Indian rug made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis luxurious handmade rug is made from wool, art-silk (viscose) and cotton. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a fairly thick pile at approximately 14mm, and this is made of wool and art-silk. The tree patterns are knotted in art-silk and they contrast perfectly with the wool pile backdrop. This contrast is accentuated by the shiny fibre of the art-silk with the matte of the wool pile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the foundations of this rug, cotton has been used. This rug, thus, has cotton warp threads. It is the warp threads which are the first materials to be added onto the loom. These strings run the length of the rug and are what the knots are tied onto. Interestingly, on this rug the warp ends have been flat woven and sewn under, as a result this rug does not have a fringe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this rug made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile, i.e. the colours and design, of this fine Indian rug was created by hand-knotting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a traditional carpet weaving method. The weaving makes the pile by tying tufts of yarn onto pairs of warp threads, each tuft created is a knot. The knots are woven in rows across the width of the loom. Following each row of knots, a series of weft threads are passed between the warps which are then compacted against the knot row. This is repeated over and over. The individual colours of the knots combine to make the pattern of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing this Indian Loribaft rug in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis handmade pictorial rug blends luxury with usability - it is suitable for normal everyday use on your floor.
