Finding the Right Rugs And Carpets for You
Good antique rugs and vintage rugs have made their way into homes across the globe, becoming fixtures used for comfort, prayer and self-expression, so choosing the right area rug is officially a universal endeavor.
In modern usage, “carpet” typically denotes a wall-to-wall floor cushioning that is fixed to the floor. Rugs, on the other hand, are designed to cover a specific area and can easily be moved to new locations. However, the terms are interchangeable in many parts of the world, and, in the end, it won’t matter what you decide to call it.
It’s well known that a timeless Persian rug or vintage Turkish rug can warm any interior, but there are lots of other styles of antique rugs to choose from when you're endeavoring to introduce fresh colors and textures to a bedroom or living room.
Moroccan Berber rugs are not all about pattern. In fact, some of the most striking examples are nearly monochrome. But what these rugs lack in complexity, they make up for in brilliant color and subtle variation. Moroccan-style interiors can be mesmerizing — a sitting room of this type might feature a Moroccan rug, carved wooden screens and a tapestry hung behind the sofa.
Handwoven kilim rugs, known for their wealth of rich colors and unique weaving tradition, are pileless: Whereas the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco can be described as dense with a thick surface or pile, an authentic kilim rug is thin and flat. (The term “kilim” is Turkish in origin, but this type of textile artistry is practiced all across the Balkans, throughout the Arab world and elsewhere.)
When it comes to eye-catching floor coverings, the distinctive “medallion” pattern of Oushak rugs has two types of rounded shapes alternating against a rich red or blue background created with natural dyes, while the elaborate “star” pattern involves large eight-pointed shapes in diagonal rows alternating with diamonds.
If you’re looking for something unexpected, find a runner rug that pops in your hallway or on your stairs. Dig for dazzling geometric patterns in our inventory of mid-century modern rugs and carpets, which includes works designed by the likes of Swedish textile masters Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Marianne Richter and other artisans.
Carpets and rugs have been around for thousands of years. Prehistoric humans turned to animal skin, wool and fur to craft simple fabrics to soften hard terrain. A 2016 study suggests that "cave lions" were hunted for exactly this purpose, and that decorating your cave with their pelts may have conferred strength and prestige. Although many of these early textiles are still in existence, tracing their precise origins is difficult. Carpets quickly became such a valuable trade commodity that the weavings could easily travel far from their places of origin.
The oldest known carpet was found in southern Siberia. (It may have traveled there from Persepolis in Iran.) For the flat-weave floor rugs crafted by Native Americans, cotton was the primary material before sheep’s wool was introduced in the 16th century. In Europe, carpet-making was fundamental to folk art, and Asian carpets imported to European countries were at one time considered a precious luxury and not intended to remain permanently on the floor.
With the variety of area rugs and carpets rolled out for you on 1stDibs — a collection that includes traditional, modern, minimalist rugs and other coverings of all kinds — things will be looking up whenever you’re looking down.
Questions About All Tapestries

- What is embroidered tapestry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Tapestries are thick, textile art that’s often hung from the wall as a method of displaying it.

NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021You can find many of our Tapestries on the 1st dibs platform. - What do tapestries symbolize?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024What tapestries symbolize is largely a matter of individual interpretation. Because early examples graced the walls of palaces and grand estates, many people associate them with wealth, royalty, power and prestige. Individual tapestries may symbolize different themes based on the images and symbols that they display. For example, art historians believe the medieval Lady and the Unicorn tapestries represent the five human senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of tapestries.
- What are tapestries made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Tapestries are made out of a wide range of materials. Wool is arguably the most commonly used to produce the threads for weaving tapestries. In some cases, silk or metallic threads will be mixed in with wool for added luster. Some weavers opt for other materials, such as cellulose and cotton. Find a selection of tapestries on 1stDibs.
- How are tapestries made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Tapestries are handwoven on a loom is such a way that only the weft (horizontal) threads are visible.
- Can you frame a tapestry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021You can frame a tapestry using a tapestry frame, which works to keep the canvas taut and hang the item. There are many different types of tapestry frames, though a popular one has a top wooden clamp with a hanging mechanism and a bottom wooden clamp to weigh down the material.
- What is a tapestry used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Tapestries is a decorative piece of heavy fabric that's usually hand-woven. It can be used as wall art, to cover furniture, or as an area rug.
- Where did tapestry originate?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Historians are not completely sure where tapestries originated. Ancient literature from Rome, Greece and other civilizations does not specifically mention tapestries, but that doesn't mean that they didn't exist. We do know that the Ancient Egyptians did produce and utilize tapestries, as examples have been discovered in the tombs of Thutmose IV and Tutankhamen. The word tapestry wasn't coined until the 15th century, and it originated in England. Find a wide variety of tapestries on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022By definition, tapestries are woven textiles, not embroidered fabrics. However, you will sometimes see people refer to embroidered wall hangings as tapestries because both types of decorative textiles function as wall décor. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of tapestries.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To know if a tapestry is valuable, seek the help of a licensed appraiser. Because condition has a big impact on what a tapestry is worth, you will need an expert to thoroughly inspect the textile. On 1stDibs, find a range of expertly vetted tapestries.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, William Morris made some tapestries. William Morris was a true artisan and delved into a variety of different areas. He’s also credited with ushering in the Arts and Crafts movement in England. He held a lot of respect for those who could produce tapestries and made his first one in 1879. He learned more and created more tapestries but also established a small tapestry workshop where he employed tapestry weavers. Shop a collection of tapestries from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
