AREA RUGS

Rug and home are terms we often associate together because of their mutual implication of warmth and comfort. An area rug undoubtedly has been a staple item in man's home since the beginning of civilization.  A home area rug would have originally made from primitively woven reeds. Knotted area rugs evolved of wool, silk and royal households could even contain an area rug knotted with gold and silver threads. Over the centuries weaving techniques developed as well as spinning, dying and other skills required in the making of a more sophisticated area rug.  Over the centuries area rug making evolved, and area rugs became transformed into artistic expressions. An area rug today can be made in many ways, of varied materials for different uses and budgets.
