What is an Oriental Rug?
Oriental rugs are hand-knotted carpets from the historic weaving centers between the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and the Far East—such as Iran/Persia, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, the Caucasus, Pakistan and China. They are renowned for tremendous design diversity, symbolic power, and expressive colors. “Oriental rug” brings together all high-quality, handmade rugs from these cultural regions—standing for centuries-old tradition, craftsmanship, and distinctive home culture.
Indian Rugs – Traditional Craftsmanship and Creative Design Diversity
India is now one of the world’s most important sources of finely crafted Oriental rugs. Indian rugs excel in their meticulous finishing, rich or natural colors, and a huge range of classic Persian motifs (Indo Bijar, Indo Sarouk, Indo Tabriz, etc.) through to modern Indo designer rugs. Indian ateliers prioritise sustainable materials, traditional handwork, and a vast range of sizes—ensuring every style is matched with a durable original.
