There is little archaeological evidence of carpet weaving from pre-Islamic times. Rugs are subject to deterioration and can be eaten by rodents and insects, so they can suffer severe damage over time.

One of the oldest evidence of carpet weaving was found inside a tomb in the Siberian Mountains. This piece was very well preserved, and it dates back to the 6th or 5th century BCE. Other fragments have also been found on the Silk Road, an ancient trade route between Europe and China. Fragments found in Cairo, dating from the 9th century, are believed to be one of the earliest Muslim carpets.

Europe's interest in oriental rugs developed probably during the 14th century, after the trip of Marco Polo to Persia. The exotic textiles became popular among the European courts. Carpets were seen as a symbol of status and elegance and were represented in many paintings from that time.

With industrialization in Europe, mechanical looms became available, and carpets could be produced in mass. This made machine-woven products more affordable and accessible for most people. However, handmade rugs continue to be produced and are considered beautiful pieces with high artistic value.
