The bazaar traders in Shiraz have a unique term for some rugs: "Divuneh," which translates to "crazy" in Farsi. Weavers of such rugs boldly defy all conventions, weaving carpets as untamed as the example here.

This is a truly "crazy" rug from Azerbaijan. The weaver has completely rebelled against order and symmetry. All of the five geometric medallions are different, and she has changed her mind regarding the borders and colours multiple times.

It's as if she was intoxicated by nature, love, youth, or perhaps even a bit of Vodka smuggled from across the border.

The rug is well over seventy years old, so the girl could now be an aged lady or perhaps soaring high in heaven. Nevertheless, her spirit endures and uplifts the observer of this astonishingly unique rug.

Trees in Persian carpets

Trees have always inspired awe in humans, embodying strength, longevity, and the cyclical nature of life and death. To our ancestors, these magnificent beings appeared to have existed long before them and would continue to live long after, giving them an aura of eternity. For primitive humans, the underground was the world of death, and trees, with their roots reaching deep into the earth and their branches extending toward the sky, existed in both realms. This blog discusses the different types of carpet designs inspired by mythical and legendary trees.
