It is a common mistake to assume that rugs, particularly oriental rugs, can be identified by their designs alone. While it is true that certain designs are closely associated, even synonymous, with specific localities or weaving groups, centuries of trade, migration, intermarriage and inspired plagiarism have resulted in a gradual spreading of compositional traditions. This is specially true today, due to the substantial number of high quality copies coming onto market from India, Pakistan, and China.
