Greek Rugs

Ancient Greek Rugs were only hand woven by women and girls with wool and hemp. They were made in just two types; heavy and thin. The heavy area rugs were used as floor coverings in the winter time in order to retain heat. They were extremely useful in covering cold, hard floors with a soft look and feel all while keeping warm. The thinner rugs were used in all four seasons. Styles featuring strictly Grecian design were of utmost value and popularity. Today, oriental rugs dominate the market and authentic Greek area rugs are rarely seen outside of Greece. Even if the market was fitting, it is unlikely that the skilled craftsman and artisans responsible for them would sell. In fact, the only place in Greece manufacturing area rugs in a factory is Athens. Here at JustAreaRugs.com you will find a great selection of modern Greek Rugs in a variety of shapes and sizes.
