Antique Rugs

Many antique rugs are handmade and are truly folk art. Rugs can have a flat surface, like on a tapestry or a pile surface. Anything smaller than 9 x 6 feet is a rug, while anything larger is a carpet. Runners refer to long, narrow carpets. Antique rugs refer to rugs more than 50 years old.

Oriental rugs are of Chinese or Persian origin.

Persian rugs include prayer rugs, urban-made rugs, village rugs, and nomadic rugs.

Other rugs include those of American Indian origin, and folk rugs.
