What is an Oriental Rug?
Oriental rugs are hand-knotted carpets traditionally originating from the “Orient”—from the Eastern Mediterranean through Central to East Asia. Major countries of origin include Iran/Persia, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, China, the Caucasus and Turkey. Typical of Oriental rugs are figurative and floral patterns, strong symbolism, artistic colour combinations, and a huge variety of designs and materials. The term “Oriental rug” encompasses Persian and Turkish classics as well as Indian, Afghan, or Chinese rug artistry—always handcrafted, ensuring quality and stylistic diversity.
Indian Rugs – Creative Diversity and Craftsmanship
India is one of the world’s leading producers of Oriental rugs. Since the 16th century, Indian weaving has been shaped by rich Mughal heritage, Persian influences, and local creativity. Indian rugs are famous for their wide range of designs—from innovative designer pieces and modern Gabbeh & Loribaft to classic Persian interpretations and refined Indo Aubusson rugs. Their hallmarks include premium wool, vibrant or subtle colours, and solid, long-lasting craftsmanship. Every Indian rug is a hand-knotted original—bringing authentic elegance and inviting comfort to any space.
