Serbian miniatures of Pirot rugs It is believed that the rug weaving technique with the South Slavic peoples had been known much before the arrival of the Turks to these parts. However, with their arrival they had also brought along more advanced technique and abundant ornamental motives and thus upgraded the importance of rug weaving, especially in Pirot region. The beauty and quality of Pirot rug is owed to the finest wool from Stara planina mountain, with its thin and long threads, and naturally derived colors as well as industrious weavers which for countless times varied certain patterns and artistically combined the colors. Thus Pirot rugs reflect the characteristic features of the region they come from. The quality of wool and steadfastness of colors make Pirot rug precious and unique and their long-life quality and beauty give a special touch and appeal to every and each area.
