Oriental Rugs with Figurative Designs
Narrative scenes, finely drawn figures and symbolic imagery give these rugs an expressive, artistic presence with remarkable visual depth. Hand-knotted Oriental rugs with figurative designs may depict people, animals, hunting scenes, historical events or subjects drawn from poetry and mythology, depending on their provenance. Floral ornament, architectural details and carefully structured borders often frame the central imagery. Depending on their construction, fine wool, wool with silk or pure silk can produce different levels of precision and surface character. In a living room, study or reception space, these rugs function as textile artworks and create a distinctive focal point with a story to tell.
