A rug is a heavy, often tufted fabric used as a floor covering. It can be a flat woven piece of only warps and wefts, or a pile-woven textile that has the knots tied around it. The knots are inserted through the weft threads, and they produce the pile that is what you walk on when you use the rug. A woven rug can be trimmed quite short, or longer for the appearance of a carpet. The word rug is derived from the Persian ruh (“bramble, briar”). The etymology of the other words for “rug” is less clear: the Old Norse rugr (from Proto-Germanic *rugiz), the Danish ragg
The term “Oriental rug” refers to pile-woven rugs that are based in what is referred to as the “Rug Belt”, which includes Morocco in North Africa, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and parts of northern India. These rugs are made for use and local sale, or to be exported.
Representative “court” rugs were often made by special workshops, under the supervision of the sovereign, and were designed to convey power and status. They may have patterns drawn from the decorative vocabularies of both the East Roman and Persian empires.
