Antique Machine Made Isfahan design
Since the earliest days of western industrialization, beginning in the 19th century, many rugs have been manufactured (or mass-produced) by a wide variety of machine loom processes. Such area rugs – which are commonly referred to as “machine made rugs” – are generally made from the same materials as hand-made rugs. These include wool, silk, and high quality cotton, with a small number of pieces being woven from other materials.
