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.

Traditional vs. Modern Rugs
| Feature | Traditional Rug | Modern Rug |
|---|---|---|
| Symmetry & Borders | Strictly symmetrical; heavily framed by distinct borders | Rarely symmetrical; often lacks a defined border |
| Color Usage | Rich jewel tones, earth tones, and multi-colored palettes | Monochromatic, ombre, or stark high-contrast |
"A traditional rug anchors a room with profound history. Even in ultra-modern, stark architectural spaces, laying down a classic Kazak or Ziegler introduces essential warmth and creates a striking, high-end juxtaposition."

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.
