Carpet artistry for modern living spaces

A hand-knotted rug brings calm, structure and warmth into a room. It connects furniture, colours and materials into a harmonious overall look and makes living spaces feel more personal.

At Jakobson Carpets, you will find selected Persian rugs, oriental carpets, silk rugs, kilims as well as nomadic and village rugs for a wide range of interior styles.

Persian rugs with medallions, ornaments and origin

Persian rugs stand for fine patterns, harmonious colours and precise handcraftsmanship. Typical features include central medallions, floral ornaments, clear borders and a balanced overall appearance.

Each origin has its own character: Nain appears light and refined, Isfahan elegant and balanced, Tabriz rich in detail and Kashan classically representative.

Oriental carpets as style-defining individual pieces

Oriental carpets include many handmade rugs from different regions and traditions. They can appear calm, refined, graphic, colourful or intentionally understated.

In modern rooms, they create warmth, structure and depth. The contrast between clean interiors and handcrafted texture makes them especially interesting.

How can you recognise genuine hand-knotted rugs?

Small irregularities are often a sign of true handcraftsmanship — visible in the material, reverse side, fringes and pattern.

Reverse side The pattern is usually visible from the back as well, because the knots were tied individually.
Fringes In genuine rugs, they are often part of the foundation weave and not sewn on afterwards.
Material Wool and silk have a natural feel and develop character over time.
Pattern Small deviations in lines or ornaments indicate handmade production.
Effect A genuine rug appears lively, deep and not flatly printed.
Knots Visibly tied one by one — each knot is the result of months of handcraftsmanship.

Finding the right rug for your home

The right choice depends on the room, flooring, furniture and desired atmosphere. A large rug brings seating areas together, a kilim feels light, and a silk rug adds elegance.

Calm colours, reduced patterns and clear proportions are especially well suited to modern interiors. Those who want more expression can choose stronger contrasts or a classic medallion.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a rug?

Size, colour, origin, material, condition and pattern quality are important. The use of the room also plays a role, for example in the living area, bedroom or entrance area.

A good rug should not only look beautiful, but also work harmoniously within the room. Proportion, colour temperature and material effect determine the overall impression.

What determines the value of a hand-knotted rug?

Value is determined by material, origin, knot density, age, condition, rarity and pattern quality. Fine silk rugs differ significantly from robust village or nomadic rugs.

What matters is the combination of craftsmanship, aesthetics and presence. A well-chosen rug remains a defining element of the room for many years.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about origin, authenticity, materials, room effect and care of high-quality rugs.

What is the difference between Persian rugs and oriental carpets?

Oriental carpets is the umbrella term for handmade rugs from different regions. Persian rugs come from modern-day Iran and are especially known for fine patterns, medallions and floral ornaments.

Which patterns are typical of Persian rugs?

Typical elements include medallions, tendrils, palmettes, borders and symmetrical compositions. Depending on their origin, the patterns can appear very fine, classic, graphic or representative.

Which rugs suit modern interiors?

Calm Persian rugs, modern oriental carpets, Ziegler rugs and kilims suit clean interiors especially well. They bring warmth and structure without overwhelming the room.

How can you recognise genuine handcraftsmanship?

Indicators include visible knots on the reverse side, natural materials, integrated fringes and small irregularities in lines or dimensions.

What role does a rug’s origin play?

The origin shapes pattern, colours, material, knotting style and overall effect. This is why a Nain differs clearly from a Tabriz, Isfahan or nomadic rug.

How do you care for a high-quality rug?

Regular, gentle vacuuming is usually sufficient in everyday use. Strong moisture, aggressive cleaning agents and constant direct sunlight should be avoided.

Our rug types at a glance

Every rug type has its own effect. Some stand for refined elegance, others for modern restraint, bold patterns or original character.

Persian rugs combine classic medallions, floral ornaments and fine borders with traditional handcraftsmanship. They are ideal for rooms where elegance, calm and a high-quality presence should be visible.

Oriental carpets stand for variety in colour, pattern and origin. From calm and understated to expressive and colour-intensive, they bring warmth, structure and handcrafted depth into modern and classic interiors.

Modern rugs take up traditional craftsmanship and translate it into clearer colours, reduced patterns and a contemporary room effect. They suit light furniture, clean lines and calm interiors especially well.

Silk rugs appear especially fine, light and luxurious. Their natural sheen, precise drawing and high level of detail make them elegant accents for representative living areas.

Nomadic and village rugs have an original and lively character. Their patterns often appear freer, stronger and more personal than classic workshop rugs and bring great individuality into the room.

Nain rugs are known for light colours, fine patterns and elegant restraint. They suit modern, bright and high-quality interiors especially well without appearing dominant.

Isfahan rugs stand for harmonious compositions, fine details and a cultivated appearance. They look refined, balanced and decorative without losing their handcrafted finesse.

Tabriz rugs are versatile, rich in detail and deeply rooted in tradition. They can appear classic, representative or finely ornamented and are excellent as a stylish centrepiece in a room.

Kilim rugs are flat-woven, light and uncomplicated. They suit modern living spaces, hallways and creative interiors where a textile accent with a natural effect is desired.

Ziegler rugs feel especially homely thanks to calm colours and soft patterns. They harmonise very well with light furniture, natural materials and interiors that need warmth without visual unrest.

Kashmir silk rugs have a fine surface, soft sheen and detailed patterns. They are suitable for rooms that should receive an elegant, light and luxurious accent.

Kashan rugs show classic ornaments, balanced colours and a representative effect. They suit traditional, elegant and refined interior concepts especially well.

Bukhara rugs are characterised by geometric patterns and warm colour tones. They appear rhythmic, clear and homely and are well suited to classic rooms, libraries or stylish entrance areas.

Quchan rugs have a distinctive, traditional presence. They bring warmth, pattern strength and personality into living spaces that are intentionally not meant to feel too smooth or interchangeable.
