How area rugs became Americanized

Tea and Carpets has written another great blog about how Persian/Oriental rugs became more Americanized.

The love affair between East and West has been hot and cold for centuries. Each adapting the others styles and ways of life, tweaking them to fit and adding their own twists.

The mystery of the East has intrigued travelers, writers, and artists alike.

I love learning and sharing the history of area rugs. Tea and Carpets is a great resource for rug history.

I just finished the latest post and it was about two rug patterns, Chintamani and Bird, that have gone by the way side.
