Handwoven rugs are intricately crafted textiles made by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. These rugs are created on looms, where individual threads of wool, cotton, silk, or other natural fibers are meticulously interlaced by hand to form patterns and designs. The process of making handwoven rugs can vary depending on the type, but it often involves knotting or weaving the fibers onto a warp and weft base. Types of handwoven rugs include kilims, which are flat-woven without a pile, and Persian or Oriental rugs, which feature a knotted pile and often intricate, symbolic patterns. The craftsmanship, materials, and region of origin significantly influence the style, durability, and value of these rugs. Because each rug is unique, they carry cultural significance and are highly sought after for their beauty and artisanal quality.
