History of Oriental Rug
The history of the hand made rug making started
from the fourth century B.C. This carpet, known as the Pazyrk
Carpet, discovered in 1949 frozen inside a burial mound in
Siberia. According the many carpet experts the Pazyrk carpet was
woven in the Caucasus. History shows that rugs making have been
woven and traded since ancient times.
Throughout the Middle East carpets are viewed not only as
objects of daily life but as a form of savings. The carpets are
often collected by families and kept in a special bank vault.
These carpets can be sold if money is needed.
The world famous traveler Marco Polo traveled Through the
Caucasus and Anatolia in 1271 and described the beauty of the
Turkish and Caucasian rugs. |
