What is an Oriental Rug?

Oriental rugs are hand-knotted carpets traditionally originating from countries along the ancient Silk Road and the Eastern Mediterranean—such as Iran/Persia, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, China, the Caucasus, and Turkey. They are known for complex patterns, intricate borders, symbolic motifs, and vivid natural colors. “Oriental rug” encompasses a huge stylistic range—from Persian classics to Indian and Afghan originals as well as modern interpretations. What unites them all is centuries-old craftsmanship and a passion for detail.

Indian Rugs – Diversity and Craftsmanship

Indian rugs are among the key exports of international Oriental rug artistry. Since the Mughal era, India has produced skilled weavers who adapt and develop Persian models—such as Bijar, Tabriz, Nain, Kashan, and Gabbeh & Loribaft—as well as their own traditions. Indian rugs are loved for their meticulous finishing, exceptional wool, and great range of colors and designs—from classic to modern. Every rug is a genuine original, offering timeless pleasure and a homely atmosphere.
