Oriental, Flotaki, Persian Rugs and More: How to Identify Different Styles of Area Rugs
To the untrained eye, area rugs look like all of the rest. But the more suave rug shoppers know that not all area rugs are created equal. It's true that certain styles may look very similar to one another, which may be hard to differentiate, but there are actually specific characteristics can set one style apart from the other. To be able to pinpoint these characteristics is actually quite simple, it just requires a bit of practice. If you want to really know Persian rugs from Flotaki rugs, the first thing you need to do is study this guide that is sure to help you. The ability to identify certain styles in a single glance is not only impressive, it can truly help you when you're out shopping for the perfect rug for your home. Here is a breakdown of the different styles of area rugs to help you on your quest to become a rug connoisseur:
Oriental Rugs: In addition to originating in Asian countries like China and Japan, oriental rugs are made in Vietnam, Turkey, Cyprus, and even Iran. A key design aspect of oriental rugs is the floral and curvilinear patterns, often seen in Persian rugs. Oriental rugs designs are quite complex and extremely ornate. They are also bold and colorful. These heavily pigmented rugs use lots of crimson, gold, black, navy blue.
Persian rugs: Persian rugs can be easily identified by their use of deep indigos and rich reds, in addition to the intricate patterns. It is standard for Persian rug patterns to fall into three categories: geometric, floral or pictorial. There is a common fallacy that Persian rugs and Oriental rugs are one in the same, but isn't entirely accurate. They do share similar aesthetic characteristics, however many Persians also feature either an all-over pattern, a central medallion pattern, or a one-sided pattern that is either asymmetrical or unilateral. The common motifs found in Persian designs are often animals, figures, and on the more ornate designs, landscapes.
Contemporary Rugs: Out of all the different area rug patterns, these are the easiest to identify. Their very art deco patterns and color schemes, and wide-availability at nearly every home furnishing store make them a mainstay in modern decor. In addition, they are easy to identify because of their striking differences from Persian and oriental rugs. In terms of design motifs, contemporary rugs typically feature geometric patterns and shapes, and bright colors.
Flokati Rugs: the most uncommon of the bunch, Flotaki rugs are very soft and extremely durable. Origianting in Greece, these rugs were made for centuries by Greek shepherds. They are easy to identify by studying their thick, soft pile, which is typically 3 to 4 inches long. A huge advantage of a Flotaki rug is that it's easy to maintain. It's so durable, you can put it in the washing machine!
Best of luck with your quest for area rug knowledge, and hopefully this guide will help you find a style that is exactly what you've been envisioning!

After the Ice Age, Did the Floods into the Black Sea and Persian Gulf Occur at the same time?
The Oceans rose 500 ft after the Ice Age, the Easternn part of the Mediterran Sea coast line collapsed to flood the Black Sea as in the Story of Noah and the Persian Gulf coast line collapse to flood the valley that now is the Persian Gulf as in the story Of the Epic of Gilgamesh. so are there two flood stories
According to latest historians and archaeologists findings,there were more than two civilizations with similar stories or traditions covering a longer span of time.Does make sense though as far as the Ark story goes.While there is evidence of floods all over the Earth,it seems they did not occur at the same time.
