How Oriental Rugs are made?

All Oriental rugs are made in one of two ways: they are either hand-woven (Kelims, Dhurries, or in general flat weave) or hand-knotted (pile rugs). Individual weaving groups my adopt slightly varying methods of construction, particularly in the type of knot used to form the pile, and it is often these slight differences in weaving and structure, taken in conjunction with their appearance, that enable rug experts to attribute individual rugs correctly. The fundamentals of construction are basically the same, however, and before discussing the two methods of weaving in detail, t is important to clarify some universal weaving terms.

Guides to buying and Oriental Rug

The term “oriental rug” can be a source of some confusion to those unfamiliar with the subject. It literally means a rug manufactured in the Orient, and could legitimately be applied to any rug of oriental origin, regardless of its appearance or how it was made. In practice, however, the term is normally used only to describe hand-made rugs produced by traditional methods in the ancient weaving regions of Persia (Iran), Anatolia (Turkey), Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Baluchistan, Turkistan, China, India, Pakistan, the Balkans, and parts of North Africa. An oriental rugs, in order to be truly authentic within the generally accepted meaning of the term, must be either hand-knotted or hand-woven, originate from one of the traditional weaving regions and also follow certain ancestral patterns of composition and design.
