What makes hand-made Indian rugs special?
The history of carpet weaving in India dates back to the rule of the Mogul Emperor ” Akbar the Great” in the 16th century. Following the conquering Emperor into India, Persian weavers established the country’s first carpet-making centers. The incomparable skill and artistry of those legendary weavers began a tradition of rug-making excellence that has been handed down through the centuries. The hand-woven Indian rugs available from home furnishings and floor covering specialty retailers are made of the same high quality natural yarns and with the same painstaking care as their centuries-old counterparts. And the same high standards of craftsmanship and quality apply to the other types of pile carpets and flat weave floor coverings rugs produced by India ’s renowned rug-makers.
