Provenance, weaving traditions and rug types at a glance
Persian rugs originate in modern-day Iran and are shaped by centuries-old regional weaving traditions. Nain, Isfahan, Qom and Tabriz differ in their patterns, colour palettes, materials and fineness of knotting. The broader term Oriental rug also encompasses handmade rugs from various countries and regions, each with its own distinctive craftsmanship and design traditions.
Persian rugs: Hand-knotted one-of-a-kind pieces from Iran, distinguished by regional patterns, materials and characteristic provenances.
Oriental rugs: Handmade rugs from a variety of rug-making regions – from classic floral designs to geometric patterns and contemporary interpretations.
Modern Oriental rugs: Traditional craftsmanship meets understated patterns, harmonious colours and contemporary interiors.
Qom silk rugs: Finely knotted pieces with precise designs, exceptional detail and the distinctive lustre of high-quality silk.
Ziegler rugs: Harmonious colour palettes and softly classic ornaments that work beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors.
Kilim rugs: Traditionally handwoven rugs with a flat weave, low weight and clear, often geometric patterns.
How to recognise quality in hand-knotted rugs
The quality of a hand-knotted rug cannot be judged by knot density alone. Materials, provenance, craftsmanship, pile, condition and the overall balance of the individual piece are equally important. On traditionally hand-knotted rugs, the pattern is generally visible on the reverse as well; the fringes form part of the rug's foundation warp rather than simply being added afterwards.
Wool, cotton and silk influence texture, lustre, durability and care requirements. Small variations in lines, dimensions or knotting may occur as a result of traditional craftsmanship and contribute to the individual character of each one-of-a-kind piece.

Choosing the right rug size, material and room setting
The right rug size brings furniture and room together into a harmonious whole. A generously sized rug can visually unite a seating area, while smaller rugs can be used to define individual zones. Alongside dimensions, flooring, natural light, colours and furniture placement all influence how a rug works within a room.
Durable wool rugs are often a good choice for frequently used living spaces. Silk has a particularly refined appearance and changes subtly with the light, while kilims feel light, versatile and uncomplicated thanks to their flat-woven construction.

Frequently asked questions before buying a rug
What is the difference between Persian rugs and Oriental rugs?
Oriental rug is the broader term for handmade rugs from various countries and rug-making regions. Persian rugs are made in modern-day Iran and therefore belong to this wider group. Regional weaving traditions, patterns and materials shape the distinctive character of each provenance.
How do I find the right rug size?
Consider the size of the room, the arrangement of your furniture and the effect you want to create. In the living room, a rug should visually connect the seating area; in the dining room, a sufficiently large rug helps ensure that the chairs remain on it as far as possible even when pulled back.
Can I take my time assessing the rug at home?
Yes. You have 31 days to experience the rug in your home and assess its size, colours and overall effect under your actual lighting conditions and alongside your furnishings.
