Evolution of Rugs and Carpets over the years

The history of handmade rugs and carpets goes long back. The evolution of these floor clothing has marked the significant improvement of art and culture over the years. It all started back in the 5th Century BC near the Caspian Sea and American Highlands. There is evidence of sheep being sheared for wool that was believed to be spun and woven in ancient times. Until today, the heritage behind weaving carpets and rugs has remained the same, but a lot of it was improvised over time.  

 History of carpets and rugs

 The earliest carpet is believed to be the ‘Pazyryk Carpet’ from the 5th century. Russian archeologists discovered this carpet in 1949 on the Altai Mountains of Siberia. The carpet was found frozen in the tombs of Scythian nobles and now safely preserved in the Hermitage Museum of Leningrad. This carpet is an example of magnificent weaving skills from the early days that made carpets with bright colors which would never fade.

 Usage of Carpets and Rugs

 The word ‘Carpet’ is often used as the word ‘Rug.’ Although they completely stand for two different meanings, they are almost similar in their usage and composition. Carpets are used as floor and wall coverings and used as table coverings in some places—rugs at the time of lower quality and smaller in size compared to carpets. Also, carpets are generally fixed at places like carpeting a floor, whereas rugs are laid out on the floor for different purposes.

 Types of Carpets and Rugs

 There are different kinds of rugs and carpets if looked from the way they are prepared. One of them is Woven Carpets, Rugs, and also Runners. These Handmade Runners in ancient times were used as a passage or mat on which royals would walk. Even now, they are used at getaways or the entry of a house.

 Other forms of rug runner or carpets are Needlefelt, Knotted, and Tufted. These types were established in modern times. Early Oriental Carpets were generally handmade floor clothing.
