Browse our history of area rugs to learn all about the history of Oriental rugs and the weaving methods used to create them.
Evidence suggests that thousands of years ago, nomadic tribesmen between Eurasia and Mongolia were the first to create pile carpets. These carpets were woven to add warmth and comfort to their simple tent homes. As more and more tribes mastered the technique of weaving pile rugs, it became a common practice to incorporate their creativity into the designs transforming a trade skill into works of art. Area rugs became not just a functional necessity in their tent homes but a symbol of taste and refinement by adding personality and beauty to their sparse surroundings.
Today's rug designs are more sophisticated, but they serve much the same purpose, lending beauty, warmth and personality to enhance a home. When considering a rug for your home, there are a number of reasons why you might decide upon hand knotted Oriental rugs or handmade Persian rugs instead of machine-made ones. Quality is the most important consideration. Handmade rugs are much more durable than mass-produced machine made rugs. Handmade rugs are usually made with natural materials such as cotton, wool or silk. These natural fibers last longer and release no harmful gasses into the environment over time. And since each rug is hand-knotted, each strand has been tied individually for greater combined strength and consistency.
About History
Pakistan lies astride the ancient land route to the India subcontinent and the Far East. The influences of migrations, invading armies, and trade have left Pakistan with a rich culture, which is visible in the arts and crafts of this region. It is not known when the first carpets were woven in the Pakistan area, although it is claimed that weaving was probably introduced by ancient Scythians. In the 16th century the Mogul emperor Akbar established carpet-weaving workshops in Lahore and Multan, bringing Persian weavers to his imperial court. The carpets woven in these court workshops were very similar to Persian rugs in weave as well as in the designs used. Soon a new Mogul style began to emerge from the workshops and in 1600 the East India Carpet Company was founded in Lahore by British merchants for the express purpose of weaving Oriental carpets. In 1947, Pakistan was created from the northwest areas of India when Britain granted independence to the Indian subcontinent. Religion was the major factor in the partitioning of Pakistan and India, Pakistan being mainly Muslim and India being mainly Hindu. At the time of the partitioning. Many of the Muslim weavers moved from India to Lahore and other parts of Pakistan. The New government in Pakistan recognized the need for industry and employment. Government subsidies were granted to the still-small Pakistani carpet-weaving industry, markets. Soon Pakistan emerged as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Oriental carpets. The greatest concentration of commercial weaving is done in and around the cities of Lahore, Karachi, and Peshawar. Many of the weaving areas have developed their own areas of specialization. Carpets are also woven in Afghan refugee camps: however, these carpets are Turkoman in structure and design.Good- quality chrome dyes are used. They are colorfast and do not fade when exposed to light or bleed when washed. These dyes are easy to use both in their physical application and in the precise duplication of specific colors.
