Rugs ~ A Creative Endeavor & Treasure

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

The rug making is an art that goes back to pre-history.  Most of the products that you see today are from the 19th and 20th century.  The older Oriental rugs are found in antique shops or with art dealers. They are very expensive when found in good condition.  Sadly the majority of the ancient rugs have disappeared.  They are a rarity when found. A very small number of them have been preserved in private collections and museums.

Here is a fabulous choice and great product review when you want to shop online for a round rug that is beautiful!
