Did you know that the oldest Oriental rug ever discovered is 2,500 years old? In fact, this ancient Oriental rug was unearthed in 1949 and was among the possessions of the late Siberian Prince whose tomb lay in the Altai Mountains.
Persian-style Oriental rugs made from Kurk wool such as Oushak rugs are prized for their durability. If properly cared for, these rugs can last longer than a hundred years.
When cleaning a rug, it is recommended that you do not shake it. This is because shaking can cause damage to threads and knots in older rugs.
In 1921, rug sellers used interesting methods to sell Oriental rugs. For instance, the Oriental Bazaar in Richmond, VA, created an “authentic” setting that “featured scenic panels running around the side walls and across the rear ... [and] Real sand covered the floor …”
In the early 20th century, the term “drugget” described long, narrow wool rugs that featured Oriental designs, colors, and construction methods. Today, they’re typically referred to as runners or accent rugs because their size makes them useful in hallways and entryways.
