Rug Context

Handwoven rugs are pieces of art. As such they are often given meaning through an individual's response to them. However, understanding the cultural and historical context that the rugs were woven in can provide them with another layer of significance.

In this section of the website we try to explain some of the general context of handwoven rugs. This is information about some of the broadest differences between types of rugs. You will also find interesting information about the general history of rug weaving here.

The specific cultural and historical context of the types of rugs that Hazaad.com sells can be found in the “Hazaad's Rugs” section.
