Next to the prestigious carpets orientals an immense much
rich handicraft production also in Italy exists, that it offers one
the immense immensest range of types and designs. The more active
centers are dislocated above all in the centromeridionali and insulari
regions. In kind they are woven with wool wires rebuked on a warp in
skewed cotton, but in some case they come knotted also with raw silk
or cascami of silk. The colors are generally rather dampened, with
white man-yellowish predominion of typical of the natural wool and the
tones the rust, brown, orange, clear green between most meaningful and
characteristic, those Sardinians : worked to mat,
with delicate colors that stretch to the lobster and stilizzate
figures of animals; or knotted with a particular technique that it
realizes reasons to relief (rumbles, stars, flowers), of usual in the
same color of the bottom.
Much interesting also the abruzzese production
, that it continues the antichi reasons of the
popular tradition: strange flowers, exotic animals, symbolic designs,
realized in colors beautifulst and decorations to relief. And still
the carpets sicialian or pugliesi ,
or likeable and the economic ones " pezzotti " of
the Valtellina , worked in cotton, adattissimi to
peasant atmospheres.
Between the foreign handicraft productions, notes for ancient
tradition soni the worked Irish carpets with large
crude wools, in clear colors and delicate decorations to thin or
Greeks, optimally adaptable lines to clear modern furnitures. Or the
Greek carpets , worked to long wool wires knotted on
a warp anch' it of crude wool, than riproducono the pleasant natural
effect of the hair of goat, lightest and soft. Or still those
Bulgarians , romeni
and
Hungarians , to the liveliest colors and many decorativi vary
geometric reasons. Similar in the working to " the pezzotti
" of the Valtellina, why composed of small pieces of stoffa,
they are the so-called " kilim " of the Balkan
Countries that reveal, in the decoration, the infuence of the
carpets orientals and repeat simplified the reasons of " the
prayers ".
Of great value it is the production of the Mexican
carpets that go under the name of " sarapes ",
the whose origins go back to the civilizations atzeca and Mayan: the
images that are represented recall symbols and signs legacies to
mitologiche or religious figures, with the most singular stilistico
realism, while the technique of working of the nodes renders them much
similar to those Asians.
