Antique Persian Rugs: History of World's Oldest Rugs

Persian carpets were among the first rugs ever created. Their history dates back to the Achaemenid Empire that stretched through Europe, Asia and Africa from 550 B.C. to 350 B.C.
Historical evidence shows that the first carpets were made from bamboos and stalks of plants growing in marshlands of lower Transoxania. In order to produce a more complete and better floor covering, men began to produce a kind of mat by intertwining the wools of animal.

Glad it was helpful!

Rugs were a form of everyday entertainment.

Love your informative videos. I have read every book I can buy about Persian carpets. Your videos help me understand the art of carpet making so that I can go into a rug store and make a purchase without feeling like an idiot. By far my favorite manufacturing area is Kerman. I am lucky enough to have carpets from that area. Of course, I have my favorite one that I cherish. I will keep watching. 😊

Hi Shawn , a question about the two different knots used in the Persian rugs please .
Is one superior to the other and if not , what is the advantage one has over the other ? Are they better in different applications ?
