No one knows exactly when rug-making began, or where, or even why.
Some hypothesize that rugs evolved as a movable substitute for mosaic.
Others suggest that carpets developed to fit the domestic needs of nomadic lifestyles.
What is known is that for thousands of years rug making has been a tradition in the Middle East and Asia Minor, a dry and mountainous region where nomadic sheep herding provide ready supplies of wool.
Though the oldest knotted rug in existence - the Pazyryk rug, discovered in 1949 in southern Siberia - is dated at 500 B.C., its fine craftsmanship suggests that rug making was by that time already an established tradition.
