Traditional Rugs

Traditional rugs bring the timeless language of Persian and Oriental design into your home — central medallions, intricate floral borders, Kashan and Tabriz motifs, and the rich jewel-tone palettes that have defined fine rugs for centuries. Our traditional collection gathers the classic, formal designs in our catalog: Persian-design medallion rugs, Kashan and Qom patterns, Imperial and Darbar layouts, and ornate all-over florals.

How our rugs are made

• This collection is machine-woven (power-loomed) in Türkiye, imported directly by container to the United States and cleared through U.S. Customs with Türkiye as the declared country of origin.
• Hand-finished. Fringes are attached and finished by hand, edges are hand-serged or hand-bound, and fine border detailing is completed by hand after weaving.
• Hand-knotted Afghan carpets are shown by appointment at our Sacramento showroom and are not listed online. See the hand-knotted collection →
• Design names are design names. “Persian,” “Kashan” and “Tabriz” describe the pattern, not the country of manufacture.

Densities run up to 1,200 reeds and 1.5–2 million points per square metre for crisp, fine detail.

What makes a rug "traditional"?

Traditional rugs are defined by symmetry and storytelling: a grounded central medallion, corner spandrels that echo it, and layered borders that frame the field. The palettes lean classic — deep navy, burgundy, cream, gold and soft greys. These designs anchor formal living rooms, dining rooms and entryways, and pair beautifully with both antique and transitional furniture.

Choosing a size

For a living room, an 8×10 or 9×12 sits the front legs of your sofa and chairs on the rug; formal rooms read best with all furniture on a 9×12 or larger. Dining rooms need 24 inches of clearance past the chairs on every side — usually a 9×12 minimum. See our complete rug sizing guide, and browse by size in 8×10, 9×12, Runner and Oversized.

Materials & care

A durable, colour-stable pile on a stable backing, built for daily living. It is solution-dyed, so the colour is inside the fibre and stays fade-resistant, and water-safe — the fibre sheds moisture rather than drinking it. Blot everyday spills with cold water and a drop of mild soap; for a full clean, hose it down outdoors and lay it flat to dry, or take it to a carpet-wash service. For everyday upkeep, see our rug care guide.
