Persian and Oriental rugs: origins, traditions and styles
Persian rugs come from present-day Iran and reflect long-established regional weaving traditions. Rugs from Nain, Isfahan, Qom and Tabriz have distinctive patterns, colour palettes, materials and knotting techniques. The broader term Oriental rugs also covers handmade rugs from other countries and weaving regions, each with its own craftsmanship and design traditions.
Persian rugs: Hand-knotted rugs from Iran, with patterns, materials and characteristics shaped by their region of origin.
Oriental rugs: Handmade rugs from different weaving regions, featuring classic floral designs, geometric motifs and contemporary interpretations.
Modern Oriental rugs: Traditional craftsmanship paired with understated patterns, balanced colours and contemporary interiors.
Qom silk rugs: Finely hand-knotted rugs with intricate designs, exceptional detail and the natural lustre of high-quality silk.
Ziegler rugs: Soft colour palettes and refined, classic motifs that complement both modern and traditional interiors.
Kilim rugs: Traditional flat-woven rugs, prized for their lightweight construction and often geometric patterns.
How to recognise quality in hand-knotted rugs
Knot density is only one factor in assessing the quality of a hand-knotted rug. Materials, origin, workmanship, pile, condition and the balance of the design all matter. On traditional hand-knotted rugs, the pattern is usually visible on the reverse, while the fringes form part of the foundation warp rather than being sewn on afterwards.
Wool, cotton and silk affect the feel, sheen, durability and care requirements of a rug. Small variations in pattern, dimensions or knotting can occur in handmade pieces and are part of what makes each rug unique.

Choosing the right rug size and material for your room
The right rug size brings your furniture and living space together. A generously sized rug can visually anchor a seating area, while smaller rugs can define individual areas. Flooring, natural light, colours and furniture placement also affect how a rug looks in a room.
Hard-wearing wool rugs are often a good choice for busy living areas. Silk has a refined sheen that changes with the light, while flat-woven kilims offer a lightweight, versatile option.

Frequently asked questions about buying rugs
What is the difference between Persian rugs and Oriental rugs?
The term “Oriental rug” covers handmade rugs from various countries and weaving regions. Persian rugs are made in present-day Iran and form part of this wider category. Regional weaving traditions, patterns and materials give each rug its distinctive character.
How do I choose the right rug size?
Consider your room size, furniture arrangement and the effect you want to create. In a living room, a rug should visually bring the seating area together. For a dining room, choose a rug large enough for the chairs to remain on it, even when they are pulled back.
Can I take my time assessing the rug at home?
Yes. You have 31 days to see how the rug works with your room and furnishings, and to assess its size, colours and overall appearance under your home’s actual lighting conditions.
