CAUCASIAN RUG
400005931 Turkey 21 Dec 2002
Size: 129cm(H) x 90cm(W) / 4'3"(H) x 2'11"(W)
    
Structure; The rugs looks to have wool
warps, weft, and pile, The knot is symmetrical and with
the exception of the supplementary paired wefts on the
sides there are two shots of wefts the first more rigid
than the second. This makes the back very mildly
depressed.
Selvage reinforced selvage of white
wool with two groups of two warps. Periodically, the
white selvage yarn extends erratically into the field --
4 to 8 warps into the knotted area. to my eyes it appears
it interlaces these warps in pairs. See Woven
Structures Update - by Marla Mallett. The question
remains; why supplementary paired warps. I discussed this
with my brother Jim and we agree that the weave was
making the rug straight since one can compress the sides
more to keep it flat so weavers will add supplementary
wefts to even things up,
