Oriental Rugs Capture Tradition

Oriental rugs have been recognized for centuries for their intricate and warm designs. The term, "oriental rug" is the generic label given to rugs, either knotted or woven, made in small or large workshops, or by nomadic people. Inside this wide category there are subcategories according to its origin. Oriental rugs are most-often handmade rather than mass produced, making them extremely durable and long lasting through the years. You won't find oriental rugs made of synthetic blends, but instead from natural fibers such as wool, silk or cotton. Each area rug is unique making it even more valuable. Examples of likely places to find oriental rugs being made are: Turkey, India, China, Tibet, Central Asia, Iran or the Caucasus (part of Russia). Oriental rugs coming from these parts of the world are better in quality due to the following reasons:

• The weaving knowledge of the people making the rugs
• The amazing quality of the natural fibers being used
• The technique they use to dye the fibers using vegetables

The unique quality of these area rugs stretches hundreds of years. At Abingdon Rug Outlet, we offer many oriental rugs that help capture the tradition of time past.
