It is believed that a tribe known as the Seljuks were the skilled weavers responsible for these early masterpieces. The Seljuks are said to have hailed from Central Asia and were nomads.During the 1400s and 1500s, Europeans collected and treasured these rugs so much so that all that came from Asia were thought to be products of Turkey. Each extra large area rugs for living room bears the intricate designs that represent the weaving base that produced it.
