It is know that the art of rugs weaving was born somewhere in Asia. It is believed the first area rugs appeared in Persia or Mongolia but it is not known for sure. And only much later European countries have mastered the wonderful craft of weaving so all the area rug western countries had were oriental rugs.
Approximately after 100 AD Oriental rugs were imported in Europe for the first time. At that time they could possibly imitate the technique of pile knotting used by oriental weaver so the European rugs weaving could arrive.
Slowly European rugs weaving craft started to develop and by the 14th century many European countries were making their own rugs.
But they were still importing area rug from Asian region they were area rugs western people desired most of all.
It is know that in 15th century Venice was importing Oriental area rug - that fact proves that area rugs western countries like best were still Oriental and Persian area rug.
In the middle of the 19th century every European county had its own rug type.
These days technology allows to achieve almost any color in are rugs - this is a great field for designers. But still Oriental and Persian motifs are dominant. Most of the modern design collections are inspired by Oriental patterns. So Oriental area rug are still reflected in many modern area rugs western consumers have.
