Rugs carpet are factory-made or hand-made products. Rugs carpet can be made of wool, silk, leather, animal skin and more. Usually rugs carpet are piled. Rugs carpet are used to cover a floor or to decorate walls.
At first let’s know about what is the difference between rugs carpet and gobelins or mats.
Fibers of rugs’ pile are fastened off with knots. At the same time a gobelin or a tapestry has 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 rugs
carpet. Rugs carpet are manufactured, using very difficult, accurate technique, with mathematical precision.
On the contrary to rugs carpet, gobelins are manufactured quite arbitrary. There are no rows, and pattern lines can be designed anyhow in gobelins. So you may apply certain fantasy and freedom to tapestry.
Apart from rugs carpet and gobelins there are mats. They differ from rugs carpet 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 rugs carpet.
