Oriental rugs are traditionally hand-knotted or handwoven carpets originating from the Middle East, Persia, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Afghanistan, India, and neighboring weaving regions. They are defined by natural materials, regional weaving techniques, and patterns rooted in centuries of artistic tradition.
Authentic oriental rugs are made from materials such as wool, cotton, and silk. Unlike machine-made carpets, every handmade oriental rug contains slight irregularities in shape, knotting, or color transitions that reflect genuine craftsmanship and individual character.
The term “oriental rug” does not describe a single design style. Instead, it encompasses a broad spectrum of rug traditions ranging from floral Persian medallion rugs to geometric tribal carpets and flatwoven kilim rugs.
