The History Armenian Rugs Armenians are one of the most ancient peoples of the world. Their arts date back to thousands of years. However, the Armenian arts, as such, took their own national features in the Middle Ages due to the development of architecture, music, literature, fine and applied arts (jewelery, pottery, rug and carpet making). Back to the Middle Ages, rug became a profitable commodity that brought a world-wide fame to the Armenian rug-making art and still is very popular in the world market. Some remnants of carpets have been discovered at the graveyard of the village of Artik, Armenia, (XIV - IX B. C.). A fragment of a carpet reminds of the so-called jejim-carpet with the swastika symbolizing water and snake. It was for this motif that foreign scientists called the Armenian rugs dragon-rugs. Both these motifs have been persistently predominant in all the branches of the Armenian medieval arts - architecture, jewellery, pottery, rug making, needlework, etc. In Yerevan, at the Karmir Bloor (VIII - VII B. C.) clews of dyed wool and various types of woolen fabrics have been discovered. The ornaments of murals, the compositions and the harmony of red and blue colors of ArinBerd (Yerevan) have almost been transferred to the rug making of our days. At Karmir Bloor a flaxen strip of carpet was discovered, dating back to the VII c. B. C. The fabric of this strip of carpet and the Armenian carpet are absolutely the same. Another treasure discovered here was a piece of piled carpet. Sargon II, the king of Assyria (722 - 705 B. C.) when plundering the Temple of Mousasir had also taken motley textiles and flaxen clothes. In Sargon's inscription (714 B. C.) there is mention of 130 multicolor clothes, flaxen dresses and especially of a great number of sheep flocks (up to 100 thousand) all looted from Urartu... Armenian Rug Production Today Armenian rug and carpet production was done primarily in homes until the large factories of the Soviet Union were established. Then firms like HayGorg produced large amounts of handmade rugs while factories such as that in Ijevan produced machine made rugs. Carpets (or Kilims) were produced in homes, and appear never have been put into factory production in Armenia. The practice of weaving carpets in the villages seems to have died out in the 1950s, and is virtually unknown these days. Rug production had a temporary setback with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent hard times and lack of raw materials as well as transportation options. After a few years with the general improvement in the situation in Armenia, the production picked up again. Armenian Diaspora investment also led to a large increase in production and now there are many companies producing a variety of rugs from the more simple, to the luxury Tufenkian rugs Reminder Check My Other Listings Add My Listings or eBay Store In Your Favorites List Payment We accept Money Orders, Cashiers Check and PayPal (kyegyan_10@msn.com).
