Handmade Rugs

Handmade rugs make a great adornment for your home and spice up your interiors in a perfect global flavor. They are characterized by their exquisite craftsmanship, brilliant designs, patterns and vibrant colors.

Heritage

Rug making can be traced back to as early as the Bronze Age in ancient Persia and the medieval Seljuk period in Turkey. The earliest surviving carpet is the Persian Pazyryk carpet of the 5th century B.C. The Persian rugs are widely desired for their delicate, immaculate and intricate artistry, brilliant patterns, designs and exciting colors. Each rug requires few months to complete. Iran (ancient Persia) is now the biggest exporter of handmade rugs in the world. Turkish rugs are a great example of human excellence in rug making. Elaborate works, beautiful designs and lively colors are a hallmark of Turkish rugs. Chinese hand woven rugs can be found as early as the last emperor of Chen dynasty. French and English hand woven rugs started from the 17th and 16th century respectively. Armenian tradition of handspun rugs is as old as 7th century B.C. and Spanish rug making began from 10th century.

Technique

A defining majority of hand woven rugs are made of wool which is utilized both in its original state and also after dyeing. Cotton and silk rugs are also quite popular.
