This is an excellent example of full warp depression. Some dealers call this "double knotted" for when counting knots one counts each knot, not every other node. Each column of knots only shows one node, with the other node buried between rows of knots. Rugs with full warp depression, because of their "double decker" foundation, are stiff with a wider fold diameter.

This rug has a slight corduroy texture brought about from its minimal warp depression. Both nodes of each knot are clearly seen, but one node (on the left) is just slightly depressed, and the left nodes are shifted slightly down from the right nodes.

The warp depression, showed most clearly in the column of red knots, is about 60 degrees giving the rug a corduroy texture on the back. More info about Rug # 1108 here BTW - Rug #0 does not exist, so if the link above says Rug #0, it resolves at the Styles Index Page. Sorry for the glitch |
This rug, which comes from half a saddle bag (the rarest of war rugs), and it has medium warp depression, or a corduroy texture. More info about Rug # 925 here BTW - Rug #0 does not exist, so if the link above says Rug #0, it resolves at the Styles Index Page. Sorry for the glitch |
This rug has no warp depression. All the warps sit on one plane exposing both nodes of every knot. When counting knots per square inch, every other node is counted (because each knot has two nodes since it is wrapped around two warps). Rugs with full warp depression are called "double knotted" because when counting knots, there is only one node visible for each not, so count every one. The easiest way to figure out warp depression is to look at a single column of knots (running up and down the rug), then look at the back and see if there is one or two nodes ( or some fraction of the second node).

See notes. This rug has, mostly, no warp depression, but at the bottom right of this photo there is some minimal warp depression. Questions? please contact us!

This is a very fine Turkmen, probably Beshir, from north of Herat in western Afghanistan. Half the warps in this rug are totally depressed, at a 90 degree angle, so we can only see one node, the "B" node from the back of the rug. The best way to judge warp depression is, from the front, find a single row of knots running up and down the carpet. Next turn the rug over and look at knots making up that row. Are there two nodes? Corduroy? One node? Generally, rugs with this much warp depression have a very stiff handle, but Ali Kwaja rugs are so fine that they are floppy despite the warp depression.
