Indian Rugs

Among the world’s great carpet weaving nations, India sets itself apart through careful use of high-quality materials, redefined ... traditional design and scaled production. The origin of Indian carpets goes back to Emperor Akbar who ruled India in the 16th century. Following the Persian model, he introduced Persian workmen and established carpet factories in various key centers such as Agra, Lahore and Kashmir. It is generally believed that from Akbar’s time, a significant trade in Indian carpets sprung up and that the proliferation of production extended over the whole of India. Although much of the carpet production at this time was really only blanket work along with simple flat daris, the craft was laced with the family and civil life of the people. Indian carpets first came to European attention at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and have since continued to capture global appreciation for their aesthetics, representing India’s famed skills in color and embellishment.More
