Check out this Yellow™ heading if you are looking to purchase an oriental rug or carpet. An oriental rug is a rug that is handmade by a specialist.  Typically, oriental rugs are made in countries such as China, Iran, Turkey, etc. Oriental rugs are made on a pile or a raised surface of fabric consisting of upright loops or strands of yarn. Oriental rugs must be handmade in order to be considered authentic. If looking to purchase one, it is recommended to either request an authenticity certificate or check the workmanship closely.

Although carpets are made in many countries, the main manufacturers are- Turkey, Iran, India and Pakistan. Turkish carpets are among the most sought after household items all over the world. Their rich colours, warm tones, and extraordinary patterns with traditional motifs have contributed to the status that Turkish carpets have maintained since the 13th century.  The Turkish carpets have exuberant colours, motifs, and patterns. No two carpets are the same; each one is a creation from a new.  The Persian carpet is an essential part of Persian (Iranian) art and culture. Carpet-weaving is one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian culture and art.  At present, hand-knotted carpets are among Pakistan's leading export products and their manufacture is the second largest cottage and small industry. Pakistani craftsmen have the capacity to produce any type of carpet using all the popular motifs of gulls, medallions, paisleys, traceries, and geometric designs in various combinations.

Oriental rugs can be placed on the floor or even hung on a wall. They are decorative and often valuable as well. Oriental rugs have various designs and patterns woven into the fabric.  Oriental-design rugs are rugs that are made by machine and are not considered authentic and therefore cheaper than originals.
