Jewish rugs

The most well-known Jewish rugs are Bezalel rugs and Marbediah (Marvadiah) rugs made by Jewish weavers in the first quarter of the 20th century in Jerusalem. The Marbediah workshop was affiliated with the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and carpets from this workshop were either labelled Bezalel or Marbediah.
