History of carpets and rugs

It is difficult to reach a certain amount of information about when and where the rug, carpet or other weaving techniques first began. Although this situation is not exactly known, no doubt, the art of weaving started in Central Asia.

Simple weaving, although not qualified, began in Central Asia and spread over time to various regions. In addition, the population of the various regions  has been instrumental in finding more use. As a result, the population growth continued with the search for more suitable areas to migrate to the western parts of Asia and live.
