TRADITIONAL CARPETS

The oriental carpet is more like a work of art than an everyday product. Unlike other works of art, however, oriental carpets are also quite useful. Furthermore, with proper care, they are a suitable investment; Persian carpets of this type, in particular, have experienced a rapid increase in value in recent years. They are distinguished by their distinctive aesthetic, shaped by cultural events from the time of their creation and the personal style of the respective carpet weavers. Our collection of oriental carpets reflects precisely these factors.

FAQs

What Are Traditional Rugs?

Traditional rugs are handcrafted or machine-made rugs featuring classic Persian, Oriental, and European designs. They often showcase floral motifs, intricate borders, and medallion patterns, adding an elegant and timeless charm to any space.

Are Traditional Rugs Durable for High-Traffic Areas?

Yes! Hand-knotted wool rugs are extremely durable and can last for generations, making them ideal for living rooms, hallways, and dining areas. Machine-made rugs are also durable but may not last as long as handcrafted pieces.

What Materials Are Used in Traditional Rugs?

Traditional rugs are primarily made from natural wool, silk, or cotton. Wool provides durability and softness, silk adds luxury and sheen, while cotton is commonly used in the foundation of handwoven rugs. Some modern versions also use synthetic fibers like polyester or viscose.

How Do I Maintain a Traditional Rug?

  • Vacuum regularly to prevent dust buildup.
  • Rotate the rug occasionally for even wear.
  • Use a rug pad to extend its lifespan and prevent slipping.
  • Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth—avoid scrubbing.
  • Professional cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years for hand-knotted rugs.

Do Traditional Rugs Shed?

Handmade wool rugs may shed slightly when new, but this reduces over time with regular vacuuming. Machine-made rugs shed less due to their synthetic fibers.

Are Traditional Rugs Expensive?

The price depends on factors like materials, knot density, and craftsmanship. Hand-knotted Persian and Oriental rugs are more expensive due to their intricate weaving techniques, while machine-made rugs are more budget-friendly.

Do Traditional Rugs Work Well in Modern Interiors?

Yes! Traditional rugs blend beautifully with classic, contemporary, and even minimalist decor, adding warmth, sophistication, and a timeless touch to modern interiors.
