Antique Persian Rugs are one of the world's greatest undervalued art form. A few rugs are from known masters but the vast majority of Antique Persian Rugs are the product of unknown women expressing an art form that is one with their very being. There is not a Persian Rug but rather 10,000 different types woven in cities, towns and villages. The distinctions allow experts to "read" where the rug was woven, the language or dialect of the weaver, and often her religion. Persian Rugs are as multi-faceted as the Persian people themselves.

Old Oriental Carpets Get A Second Life

Old Oriental Carpets Get A Second Life

A few years ago, everyone at the Interior Design Show in Toronto tried to outdo each other in going green; this year it seems to be off the radar. Among the few obvious picks were these Second Life rugs, and they are not virtual world flying carpets, but old Persian and Turkish rugs. In the middle east, rugs get very hard use and wear out; Toronto's Metrick family, owners of Elte Carpets, buy up what are essentially junk rugs ready for the dump, scrape them down and recolour them with vibrant oil-based dyes.

When the rugs are too far gone in parts to even do this, they cut them up into squares and put together patchwork
