Featured Rugs About Indian RugsThe name “Indian rugs” is a bit awkward when you think about it in semantic terms. “Indian rug” can be understood to denote rugs made by either people of the Asian subcontinent or the original settlers of North America. The term “Indian” most frequently refers to one group of Oriental rugs – the others being Turkish, Caucasian, Central Asian, Persian, and Chinese. A remarkable, powerful palette founded on yellow, pink, light blue, and green is the main feature that typifies the Indian style. This palette is characteristically shown on the bluish red background also known as lac red, used to depict the grounds of fields. The knotted style of rug making was unknown to the Indian people until the 16th century, perhaps because of the region’s warm climate. Indian carpets frequently imitate the style of the Persian rug. India is renowned for its woven dhurries, the Indian counterpart of kilims.Varanasi RugsVaranasi has been a center of learning and civilization for over 2000 years, and it is deemed one of the holiest Indian pilgrimage cities. The Varanasi rug collection by Couristan, which is hand-knotted, using a Persian knot, has captured the traditional design patterns from that area of the world to produce an area rug collection that redefines handmade quality. The last half of the previous decade witnessed a turnaround in the area rug industry. In a lot of ways, this shift can be traced directly to the Indian area rug market. In the late 80s and early 90s the Chinese and Pakistani rug industries surpassed the India’s, and the Indian industry was on shaky legs. Instead of shutting up shop, Indian manufacturers took an innovative approach to rug making, and they are responsible for the quality of Indian area rugs today.About The Author: For more information on area rugs or related products choose from the menu below.
