What is an Oriental Rug?
Oriental rugs are hand-knotted carpets from the historic weaving regions 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 their design diversity, symbolism, and expressive colors. “Oriental rug” unites all high-quality, handmade carpets from these cultures—standing for centuries-old tradition, craftsmanship, and distinctive interior culture.
Indian Rugs – Variety, Tradition & Timeless Quality
Indian rugs represent a broad spectrum of high-end Oriental carpets. For centuries, classic motifs—like Tabriz, Bijar, Sarouk or Kashan —have been adapted, creatively reinterpreted and executed in substantial, long-lasting sheep’s wool. The world owes Indian rugs an impressive palette of colors, meticulous workmanship and a unique blend of contemporary and traditional style, making them a flexible choice for any décor.
