FINAL WEEKEND - TRIBAL TREASURES a winter pop up @bebraveartspace - Ex retail, hand knotted Persian rugs INCREDIBLE PRICES. Open Saturday and Sunday 10-4 ❤️

Not long ago I found myself at a difficult crossroad in my life. With the support of many strong, wonderful women behind me I threw myself into a crazy new adventure and started an art gallery. Almost 3 years later I am still here and still striving to create an inclusive and available space for artists to exhibit and for our community to enjoy the amazing creative talent that is out there.
The support of other women has been so important throughout my life, we share our highs and our lows and have each others backs no matter what. For this I am eternally great full.
In honor of women everywhere and particularly those women who do not have the opportunities and freedoms that we have I send love, strength and support to you all.

Thankyou @evafreng for your nomination ❤️#womensupportingwomen #challengeaccepted

Southern Iranian Shiraz (173 x125cm) Shiraz carpet

Southern Iranian Shiraz (173 x125cm)
Shiraz carpets are made in the villages around the city of Shiraz, in the Iranian province of Fars.
Designs tend to come from settled tribal weavers. Since the weavers are using fixed looms the rugs tend to be larger and often coarser than their tribal counterparts. The Shiraz carpet is the only rug to depict nightingales, which are shown as angular-shaped birds. These birds are said to symbolise contentment and happiness. The rugs of the Basseri tribe, one of the Persian tribes of the Fars province, are famous for their colourful designs.

QASHQAI TRIBAL (189 x 115)
The Qashqai carpet is a truly authentic nomadic tribal rug from southern Iran. With a very high knot density, it is highly durable. As with numerous other nomadic tribes, the Qashqai Rugs and Qashqai carpets are woven by women. Qashqai rugs have a woollen pile, with a woollen warp and weft, and are woven on a horizontal loom pegged out on the floor. It is a Flat-Woven Rug in which the weft threads form the pattern and the colours.

BLUE DELPHINIUMS by Dee Roberts @dee_roberts_paint

BELOUCH TRIBAL RUG-IRAN (144x84 cm) The area of Belochistan, the home of the Belouch rug borders the south-east of Kerman on the south-eastern edges of the Iranian plateau in Iran, western Pakistan and south Afghanistan.
Camels are important to Belouchi tribes and the 'camel print', as well as occasionally camel hair, is used in the creation of their rugs. Belouch rugs can be made on a foundation of cotton or wool, goat hair is often used in the weft. The ‘camel print’ or ‘gul’ repeat medallions are common in Baluchi rugs although various other designs are produced. Dark reds, browns or blue backgrounds often contrast with white, ivory, yellow or orange patterns. Belouch rugs are soft and flexible yet extremely resilient and have a real feeling of age and history behind them. The rugs are limited in size due to their tribal origins and are woven on horizontal looms.

BAKHTIARI -GARDEN MOTIF (147 x 99) The Bakhtiari

BAKHTIARI -GARDEN MOTIF (147 x 99)
The Bakhtiari rug, along with other weavings, is a major artform of the Bakhtiari tribe located in Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari, Iran.
Bakhtiari carpets are based on a cotton foundation (warp) with a wool weft, usually taken from the herds of the producing tribe where sheep are grazed on the sides of mountains, resulting in very durable wool. This leads to unique carpets that differ depending on the characteristics of each tribe's wool. The wool can range from dull to extreme glossy and the resultant pile is clipped medium to high. The best carpets with the highest knot density are often known as Bibibaff.
Patterns are usually floral or garden inspired. The Khesti, an established garden motif, is perhaps the most well-known rug design. The carpet is divided into individual squares with animals and plants acting as symbols. Another influential design features a decorated field with lattice designs and floral ornaments.
