Traditional Rugs

What is a Traditional Rug?

Traditional rugs are the pinnacle of centuries-old weaving artistry, drawing inspiration from ancient Persian, Oriental, and Anatolian designs. Defined by strict symmetry, intricate floral medallions, and elaborate borders, these rugs serve as a timeless foundation for classic and transitional interiors. Every knot is tied by hand, ensuring that a traditional rug is not just a piece of decor, but a generational heirloom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are traditional rugs difficult to clean?

Not at all. Because authentic traditional rugs are hand-knotted from wool, the natural lanolin acts as a stain repellent. Routine vacuuming (without a beater bar) and prompt blotting of spills is usually all that is required.
