ORIENTAL RUGS have long been appreciated for their beauty. That beauty is achieved in these Oriental Rugs through the choice of colors and designs, as well as by the manipulation of designs and colors to form pleasing patterns.

Patterns in Oriental Area Rugs are never quite what you expect - a surprise here, a flourish there, a change of color, the flip or rotation of a design where you might not predict it. The more you look, the more variations you will find in Oriental Rugs.

How can we explain this phenomenon? Is it the result of human choice, or human error?

The study of symmetry offers one approach to analyzing patterns in Oriental Rugs. Through symmetry analysis we may identify areas of pattern that exhibit expected repetitions, and areas that vary from that expectation. We offer many kinds of Oriental Rugs including Discount Area Rugs, Oriental Wool Rugs and Oriental Area Rugs.
