Over thecenturies, these beautiful, handcrafted carpets have been cherished and passed down through generations, keeping this artistic tradition alive even with the advent of modern technology.<#13>This particular design comes from a contemporary rug manufacturer, Floare Carpet, who design their floor coverings in the traditional ways.
