Story Behind the Art: It was during the Mughal rule in India in the 16th century that the rug industry reached its zenith and came on its own as an art form. Tight weaving, silk like wool, bright, deep color range and realistic motifs became the defining feature of Indian rugs. It is this combination of exquisitely detailed and painstaking craftsmanship and masterful interplay of design elements that has earned Indian rugs age-defying allure and patronship defying borders and time. Today India is the third largest exporters of rugs with $460 million export valuation. The country produces a wide range of handmade carpets and other floor coverings in low, medium, and high quality. Categories of Indian handwoven carpets include Indo-Persian, silk, wool and silk, wool, hand-tufted, Zeigler, and Kilims. The USA is the biggest importer of carpets and floor coverings from India, accounting for 57% of India’s exports in 2022.
