Rugs and Carpets
Carpet making comes from the very early periods of Armenian history. From ancient times carpets and rugs have been regarded as a vital necessity in the Armenian domestic life. Armenian rugs, renowned in the remote Middle - Ages and even earlier, are proof of the fact that the Armenian people have played the most important role in the creation, development and perfection of rug making, one of the applied arts of the most ancient peoples of Asia Minor, the Middle East and the Transcaucasia.
Rugs and carpets quite often were used as code signs and many important messages were sent and received by means of them.
