Carpet is an ancient but beautiful idea. Modern
carpet traces its roots to ancient times, when cultures passed
hand-tying and knotting skills from generation to generation.
The
Sixteenth Century brought merchant adventurers and explorers home
to Europe and with them the awareness and desire for rich
textiles and rugs from the East. It wasn't long before the
appreciation of textile floor coverings took off, came to
America, and became one of the most fundamental and beautiful
parts of our modern home interior. Carpet continues to be popular
for many reasons.
