What is an Oriental Rug?

Oriental rugs are hand-knotted carpets from the classic weaving regions of the Orient—including Iran/Persia, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, the Caucasus, Pakistan, and China. These stand for centuries-old craftsmanship, immense variety of motifs and colours, and symbolic patterns. The term covers celebrated Persian rugs as well as Indian, Afghan, Chinese, Caucasian, Pakistani and Turkish varieties—all recognised for their exceptional patterns, high-quality handmade production, and cultural significance as objects of beauty and value.

Indian Rugs – Perfection & Variety from a Long Tradition

India is now one of the world’s most important producers of exquisite Oriental rugs. Since the Mughal era, traditional patterns have been reinterpreted and realised in the finest handwork. The Kashmir region, in particular, is famed for its extremely intricate, colorful, and brilliantly lustrous silk rugs. Indian rugs impress with their bold designs, robust materials and a stylistic range that spans from Persian-inspired motifs to timeless originals.
