Carpet Making and Ecology: “Green” Rugs
by James Opie
Before the invention of aniline dyes, all handmade rugs were “green” in
many ways, including a way few could have predicted. During rare periods
of severe economic instability, including the collapsed German economy
following World War II, Oriental rugs served as a medium of exchange. They
functioned as money. I learned this from a customer after opening my retail
store in Portland in 1975. A German-American who was fourteen at the close
of the war, he recalled a question his parents often heard during the period
when German money was worthless and new currency had yet to be printed.
Those with quantities of food to barter asked, “Do you have gold, diamonds,
or Oriental rugs?” This man admired handmade rugs but acquired them primarily due to having heard that
question so often in the months following the war. “When money is not any good,” he told himself, “be sure to
own some Oriental rugs.” For him, rugs were better than “green money,” or currency of any color.
That was before the vegetable-dye renaissance of the mid- to late-1980s, and some of the rugs this man
purchased, rarely spending more than two or three hundred dollars for a piece, contained synthetic dyes. Had
his worst fears materialized and he again heard that question, his rug acquisitions containing synthetically dyed
yarns could not have made the grade. Even in 1975, the question would have been refined to focus on vegetaldyed rugs, and perhaps ones made before 1920.
The consequence of using aniline and chrome dyes still impacts the value of tens of thousands of antique
pieces. Fortunately, during the mid-to late-1980s, a great “return to vegetable-dyes” was spearheaded by the
DOBAG project in Turkey, by Woven Legends, and by my Iranian friend Abbas Sayahi, who did not return to
“honest dyes” because he never left them. Today, growing numbers of rugs are woven with vegetal-dyed yarns, a
bedrock feature of my own production in Afghanistan.
Talk about green! The wool is in these rugs is sheared by hand, from sheep who live to produce another
crop of wool next year. The wool is then spun by hand, without leaning on Afghanistan’s limited capacity for
generating electricity. The gathering and growing of vegetal dye-stuffs, following ancient customs and methods,
damages nothing while providing income for growing numbers of individual villagers and farming families.
Unlike synthetic dyes, disposing of residues from natural dyes leaves streams and surface soils unpolluted.
Further, no weaver’s hands are dyed with who-knows-what, and when these rugs are thirty, fifty, or one-hundred
years old they will not go into dumpsters, on their way to landfills. They will, I predict, be treasured, as will the
traditionally oriented products of many American and European importers, who nod politely to fleeting trends
while sticking resolutely to their principles.
While my own connections in Afghanistan date to my first trip there in 1973, the vegetal-dye portion of
my efforts lean on the inspired influence of Chris Walter, of Yayla Tribal Rugs and Alex and Ahmad Ahmadi of
Ariana, Fred Hazin, and others. My friend Abbas Sayahi helped, too, as trail-blazing dyers who first “returned”
to vegetal dyes in Afghanistan were trained by him in his large facility near Shiraz.
To prepare for the future we first need to believe in it, carrying what worked best in the past through this
period of cultural crisis, with its many attacks on traditional aesthetics. A person can label as “art” anything
he or she wants. But quality is not infinitely flexible. Today’s high-quality “green” rugs are a testament to the
timeless attraction to the real and the beautiful. Many importers are putting their green-money on the line, and
generations to come will thank us.

THE
COLLECTION
The Afghanistan of our day-to-day media is a broken
nation, living closer to despair than to hope. Our project—
linking skilled Afghan rug weavers with North Americans
who appreciate special rugs—leans toward the hope side
of the equation.
In selecting a piece from The James Opie Collection,
discerning consumers join a network of relationships
sustaining hope in Afghanistan. Simultaneously, everyone
experiencing these rugs is nourished by their beauty.
