Traditional Rugs

Traditional rugs display patterns, designs, and colors that adhere to classic cultural stylistic elements from Persia, other parts of the Middle East and the Orient. Admired for their timeless quality, traditional rugs draw design influence from, in some cases, thousands of years of hand-woven rug making. A distinct aspect of traditional rugs that distinguishes them from many contemporary rug styles is painstaking attention to detail and use of intricate floral and paisley patterns. The tasteful use of colors allows traditional Persian and Oriental rugs to be a versatile home décor piece, with hand tufted traditional rugs being a prized possession in countless homes across the world.
