Oriental rug

An Oriental rug is a type of rug that comes from a region of the world called the Orient, which includes places like Iran (formerly known as Persia), Turkey, and China. These rugs are made by hand, which means that each one is unique and took a lot of time and effort to create.

To make an Oriental rug, the weaver starts by choosing the colors of wool or silk they want to use. They then tie thousands of tiny knots by hand, each one forming a part of the intricate pattern. The more knots per square inch, the more valuable the rug is considered to be.

Once the weaving is complete, the rug is washed and dried, and any loose threads are trimmed. Oriental rugs are known for their beauty and durability, which means they can last for many years with proper care.

In addition to being used as a floor covering, Oriental rugs are often hung on walls for decoration. They can also be used to designate specific areas in a room, or to add a touch of elegance to a space.
