History of handwoven Rugs

Ancient textiles and handmade rugs have been made for over 2000 years. Over the centuries, several epics, ancient writings and miniature paintings allude to the handmade rugs of the time, emphasizing their beauty. Homer’s writings and the legend of the great Baharestan (famous garden rugs of the ancient Persian Sassanids) provide verbal evidence of the existence of rugs from this period.

It was a moment. This elegant rug was named Pazyryk after the place where it was found in the Altai Mountains. The intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship of this beautiful rug suggest a long history, and thanks to carbon testing, it has been dated to 500 BC. date.

The history of rugs is closely linked to the history of human habitation. The first handmade rugs arose out of people’s basic needs for warmth, beds, shrouds for the dead, and bags to carry their belongings, especially during the nomadic era when tribes moved from one place to another.
