Throughout history, these handmade rugs have been the object of fascination, desire, and status. CatalinaRug.com's mission is to help bring this rich cultural legacy to your home - at a affordable price! Browse our history of area rugs to learn all about the history of Oriental rugs and the weaving methods used to create them. Evidence suggests that thousands of years ago, nomadic tribesmen between Eurasia and Mongolia were the first to create pile carpets. These carpets were woven to add warmth and comfort to their simple tent homes. As more and more tribes mastered the technique of weaving pile rugs, it became a common practice to incorporated their creativity into the designs transforming a trade skill into works of art. Area rugs became not just a functional neccessity in thier tent homes but a symbol of taste and refinement by adding personality and beauty to their sparse surroundings. Today's rug designs are more sophisticated, but they serve much the same purpose, lending beauty, warmth and personality to enhance a home. When considering a rug for your home, there are a number of reasons why you might decide upon hand knotted Oriental rugs or handmade Persian rugs instead of machine-made ones. Quality is the most important consideration. Handmade rugs are much more durable than mass-produced machine made rugs. Handmade rugs are usually made with natural materials such as cotton, wool or silk. These natural fibers last longer and release no harmful gasses into the environment over time. And since each rug is hand-knotted, each strand has been tied individually for greater combined strength and consistency  Characteristic Mehraban (Mehriban) The northern most outpost of the American Sarouk “Bulge” is Mehraaban, an administrative district north of Hamadan incorporating a large number of villages whose individual names are never used in the carpet trade. There are two distinct types of Mehraban, both single wefted: the older style, which is more geometric. Best known for long, narrow runners and carpets. Hamadan Mehraban is based on the American Sarouk style and seems to have begun as a king of superior Darjezine. Many other designs also exist in the new-style production, some of them being further developments of the American style, others quite different, including for example geometric, slightly Caucasian- looking patterns. The quality is Good: Fine thick yarn with great natural luster, combined with a fine weave, the Yarn has a high twist, which gives the back of the rug a knobby effect. The most common ground color is dark blue, but a whole range of other shades is readily available red, cream, gold and light blue in particular but in the main the overall color effects are better than in most new Hamadans.
