Description
Did you know that carpets have a storied history that intertwines with mystique and practicality? One fascinating tale is that of the legendary “flying carpets.” This myth originated from the Middle Eastern collection of folk tales known as “One Thousand and One Nights,” where magical carpets could transport people across vast distances in an instant. While the concept of flying carpets remains firmly in the realm of mythology, the art of carpet weaving itself is deeply rooted in cultural traditions. Historically, carpets were not only functional home items but also a form of artistic expression, with weavers incorporating complex patterns and symbols to tell stories or convey messages. This tradition has made carpets valuable cultural artifacts, with some antique carpets being considered works of art and fetching astronomical prices at auctions today.
