Rugs are
extremely rich in culture and each one has a story behind
it. A handmade rug is like a painting. Created over centuries
in villages by tribal families and in cities by professional
craftsmen, the designs which grace handmade rugs hold
complex, symbolic meanings often closely related to nature.
Each weaving region possesses it’s own unique stylistic
characteristics; they are particular in their use of symbolism,
imagery, choice of materials and technique of production.
The design of a rug is identified by the way in the layout
and decorative motifs are interpreted and articulated.
Rug patterns usually fall into three catergories; geometric
(straight lines and shapes), curvilinear or floral (curving
lines) and pictorial (pictures usually of people and/or
animals).
Tribal rugs tend to be geometric in design, the villagers
and nomads who generally weave these pieces free hand,
without the use of a 'cartoon' (a blueprint of a rug design).
Rug layouts are generally divided into three main categories;
allover, medallion or one sided.
