Area Rugs Contemporary
Area rugs contemporary may be either factory-made or hand-made. They are made of wool, rayon, leather, animal skin and more. Usually area rugs contemporary are fringed. The most common use of them is floor covering.
At first let’s know about what is the difference between area rugs contemporary and mats or gobelins.
In area rugs contemporary, threads are fastened off with special knots. On the contrary to area rugs contemporary, a gobelin or a tapestry has no knots, threads are dragged through the base and these threads are nailed down to each other by using special fork.
There are two kinds of surfaces in area rugs contemporary.
Area rugs contemporary are weaved, using very difficult, accurate technique, with mathematical precision. Often, computer-aided design (CAD for short) is used in their manufacturing. On the contrary to area rugs contemporary, gobelins are weaved quite arbitrary.
Mats differ from rugs in the method of threads interweaving (it is very similar to that in tapestry). Also mats are manufactured of sisal (dried fibers of agave), but nevertheless, mats are prototypes of area rugs contemporary.
