The World's Best Carpet Makers

It is always every homeowner's pride to own an authentic rug that is woven from any of the world's best producers of carpets and rugs. Blessed with a rich and colourful culture, Asia is the unrivalled region when it comes to carpet- and rug-making. If you are fond of these special floor adornments, travelling to different parts of Asia would be the greatest adventure for a carpet-addicted person in you.

The world's best carpets and rugs are made from the local people of different regions of Asia. The rug-making technique is an old craft that was learned by the residents from the older generations, making sure that the unique method is retained despite the changes brought about by technology and urbanization. If you are looking for a Persian carpet that truly embodies the ancient Persian culture, Iran is the place to go. In Iran, the recorded weavers making carpets for domestic and international consumption has amounted to more than a million. Indeed, there are a lot of sellers that you can choose from and haggle with for a great carpet purchase.

Try heading to China or Nepal if you are looking for original Oriental rugs. Oriental rugs are specially handmade and knotted using traditional weaving methods. Streets of these places where carpet-making is abundant are crowded with individual vendors of Oriental rugs. For a more unusual rug made from "changpel" or sheep's wool, Tibet is the ultimate destination to find beautiful Tibetan rugs.

Other destinations to check for to find great deals on carpets and rugs are Pakistan, Turkey, India, and Vietnam, which sell intricate and equally beautiful carpets knotted and woven according to the process learned from their great ancestors.
