Area Rugs Contemporary |
Area rugs contemporary can be either factory-made or hand-made. Such rugs are made of wool, silk, leather, animal skin and more. Usually area rugs contemporary are piled. These rugs can be used in many ways such as to cover a floor or to decorate walls.
At first let’s know about what is the difference between area rugs contemporary and gobelins or mats.
In contemporary rugs, threads of pile are fastened off with knots. At the same time gobelins have no knots and threads are dragged through the base. These threads are nailed down to each other by using special fork.
Two kinds of surfaces and ornaments are used in area rugs contemporary.
Area rugs contemporary are manufactured, using very difficult, accurate technique, with mathematical precision. Usually, computer-aided design (CAD) is used in their manufacturing. On the contrary to area rugs contemporary, gobelins are manufactured quite arbitrary.
There are no rows, and pattern lines can be designed anyhow in tapestry. So you can apply certain freedom and fantasy to gobelins. Apart from area rugs contemporary and gobelins there are mats. They differ from area rugs contemporary in the method of threads interweaving (it is very similar to that in tapestry). Also mats are made of sisal (dried fibers of agave), but nevertheless, mats are prototypes of area rugs contemporary.
