What is an Oriental Rug?
Oriental rugs are hand-knotted carpets from the historic rug centers stretching from the Mediterranean through Central to East Asia—including Iran/Persia, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, the Caucasus, Pakistan, and China. Known for great design variety, symbolic motifs, and striking colors, “Oriental rug” unites all top-quality, handmade carpets from these cultural areas—a hallmark of centuries-old tradition, fine craftsmanship, and unique living culture.
Indian Rugs – Craftsmanship and Design Diversity
Indian rugs are now among the most diverse Oriental carpets worldwide. Master Indian weavers craft both traditional and modern styles with precision—from minimalist Gabbeh/Loribaft rugs to finely patterned Persian-inspired pieces. Indian rugs are known for their perfect finishing, robust sheep’s wool, harmonious colours, and long-lasting suitability for daily use in all styles—hand-knotted, unique, and versatile!
