How Oriental Rugs for Sale are produced?

The oriental rugs for sale and Persian carpets use two types of basic knots in their production. The first type is the symmetrical knot, also known as Turkish knot or Ghiordes knot. This type of knot is popular in Turkey, East Turkmenistan, the Caucasus, and a few Kurdish and Turkish areas in Iran. The other type of knot is the asymmetrical knot, called as Persian knot or Sennah knot, used widely in Iran, Turkey, Indian, Pakistan, Egypt, and China.

Spanish knots and Jufti knots are also used in some places for carpet weaving.
