Oriental Area Rug<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An oriental rug<\/a> is a hand knotted carpet that originates in the countries that are part of the Oriental world which is mostly located in Asia. Such countries include Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, India, China, Nepal, and Tibet which are the largest producers of oriental rugs. The term oriental rug<\/a> is really the family of rugs<\/a><\/strong> that make up this part of the world. That is why rugs from Iran, which are known as Persian rugs<\/mark><\/a>, are considered oriental rugs<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of rug\nconsists of unique designs, interesting color combination, and most\nimportantly a distinctive knot that holds the rug together. Most rugs\nare named for their country, region, or even village that they were\ncreated. Sometimes they are named after the tribe that created them.\nUntil the 20th<\/sup>\ncentury, the rugs were handmade. Today, you\u2019ll find many oriental\nrugs that are made by machines. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of\noriental rugs<\/a> go back to ancient times. Although the exact origin is\nnot known, in 500 B.C. the Pazyric carpet was first crafted in the\nAchaemenid period. It is arguably that the rugs pre-dated that time\nby hundreds of years, but these are the earliest examples that either\nexist or were mentioned in historical records. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persian carpets were\nmentioned in Chinese texts that came from the Sassanid period which\ngoes back to 641 CE. Cyrus the Great, ruler of the Persian Empire had\nhis palace decked in many different oriental rugs<\/a> which drew the\nadmiration of Alexander II of Macedonia when he saw them around\nCyrus\u2019 tomb. It should be noted that these rugs are rather\nprimitive in comparison to today\u2019s versions, but the basic approach\nis still the same. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Oriental Rugs are Made<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While there are\ndifferent methods in terms of the materials, colors, ad design, the\nbasic approach is still the same for handmade oriental rugs<\/a>. The\nwool, cotton, or silk material is dyed to the desired color, then the\nthreads are weaved together to create the rug. The knots are what\nhold the rug together, so the more knots you can find in the rug, the\nmore durable and valuable it should be. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there\ntends to be more knots in the silk compared to wool due to the\ndelicacy and thickness of the material. Many rugs with silk are\nmostly used as tapestries or displayed in areas so they will not\nexperience foot traffic. This is why most rugs that are designed to\nbe placed on the floor are crafted from wool or cotton depending on\nthe material that is available in the region. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next\nthousand years, oriental rugs<\/a> became more elaborate when\nincorporating different designs and colors. They also became larger\non average as well. One important addition was silk, a material that\naugmented the wool fibers and is still quite notable even if\ndelicate. It should be noted that each country that produces this\ntype of rug has its own history as well. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afghanistan & Pakistan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two countries are joined together thanks to being next-door neighbors with tribes that share similar designs in oriental rugs. Although not produced in Iran, these are considered Persian rugs as well due to the influence in each country. The opening of the Western market has ironically slowed the production of the rugs which used to be for displaying tribal designs and emblems to celebrate the past. One advantage for those looking at purchasing this type of rug is that they are still mostly handmade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country associated with Persian rugs this may be the most prominent birthplace of weaving carpets. The intricate designs, high-quality materials, and vibrant colors make Persian rugs some of the most popular in the world. However, political and social unrest has slowed down the production of the rugs as they are in less demand. Furthermore, countries like the United States have banned the sale of Persian rugs created after 1979 from the country. Still, the Kerman and Tabriz rugs<\/a> which are the most prominent Persian rugs still sell in good numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

India<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be somewhat\nsurprising that India and not Iran is the largest producer of\noriental rugs. The practice of making such rugs arguably came from\nthe Persians who conquered India long ago. What makes rugs from India\nunique is the wide diversity of design and colors used to create the\nrugs. While machines have taken over much of the market in terms of\nproducing the rugs, there are still plenty of artisans who create\nIndian rugs by hand. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many centuries,\nChina has produced a wide array of oriental rugs. Most notably in the\nearly years for kings and the well-to-do. The emblems that were\nplaced in the rug were usually focused on the current emperor of\nChina. Over time, the design of the rugs became more elaborate, but\nthe basic hand-woven technique was still used until the 20th<\/sup>\ncentury when machines took their place. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish Rug<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Formally one of the most prominent creators of oriental rugs, the decline of Turkish rugs<\/span><\/a> in recent years is arguably due to the lower quality products produced by machines instead of being handmade. Still, the Turkish silk rug is highly prized and has been in demand for many centuries. The several tribes that still inhabit the country make handmade rugs that reflect their unique culture. The long and storied history of Turkish rugs means that they will continue to be in demand for the foreseeable future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\noriental rug continues to be quite popular around the world. Both as\na collector\u2019s item to be displayed and as practical rugs for\neveryday use. Their durability, style, and impressive designs whether\nhand made or put together by machine are still in demand worldwide.\nWhat was once reserved for kings and the rich is now priced so that\nmost people can afford to have such a run in their home. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For collectors, ancient oriental rugs<\/a> are in high demand and often fetch a considerable price depending on their origin and condition. This is why oriental rugs<\/a> will continue to be the most sought-after by everyday people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
