Hi Everyone!

I have these 2 rugs (pretty sure their isfahan rugs) and both have signatures of them. Both signatures are very similar as well!

I was just wondering if anyone had any idea who the weavers were or what the signatures say?

Also, one of the rugs has a kheft which apparently indicates quality - how do you interpret it? Because when I tried finding out the KPSI of the rug but because its so fine it very difficult to count the individual knots on the back of the rug.

Thank you very much!

Signatures very different but iran isfahan end two words same remember written backwards cf english
I think we have exhibition piece by first master

The first one is "Iran Isfehan Rabyee" and the second one is "Iran Isfehan Dadrey". They are both contemporary weavers and not known. However, very nice pieces.

Thank you very much for your reply. Its unfortunate the rug weavers are unknown - these would have otherwise been very special! Just a quick question, do you know how to interpret kheft? I've read how to in a couple of different websites but I'm very confused! Like I said because the first rug is so fine, its impossible to find out the kpsi by just counting individual knots across a length of 1 inch.

Once again thank you!

Ok so what exactly is considered a kheft? Are the individual colours a kheft? So 1 red= 100 warp lines and 1 blue = 100 warp lines or do they together (red+blue)= 100 warp lines? And how do you convert the number or warp lines into KPSI?

Thanks and sorry about all the questions. Btw I'm metric too :)

Ok so from one blue line to another = kheft. So if I were to count, lets say, 10 kheft in a 1 meter distance, that means there are 1000 warp lines. Right?

If so, what would 1000 warp lines tell me about the knot density/quality? How many kheft in a meter is considered "seirafian" standard/quality?

Thanks!
