The history of Canadian collecting practices and cultural context of the Oriental rug production is highlighted with a well-illustrated display of over 70 distinctive rugs, horse and camel decorations, and tent bands and bags from Central and West Asia – regions well known for the richness of their rug weaving traditions developed by diverse cultures and peoples. The accompanying essay provides a window into their complex and ancient traditions as well as a meaningful access to the diverse and multifaceted Canadian heritage.
