Persian & Oriental Rugs

Persian-style and oriental rugs

Persian rugs and oriental rugs are known for traditional patterns: central medallions, detailed borders, floral vines and all-over designs in rich reds, blues and ivories as well as softer faded tones. This collection gathers rugs whose product names describe them as Persian or oriental in design.

Most pieces here are Persian-style or oriental-design rugs rather than antique rugs woven in Iran. Construction is listed on every product page: you will find hand-knotted wool rugs, hand-tufted wool and wool-blend rugs, power-loomed polypropylene and polyester rugs, and washable oriental designs, some of them indoor-outdoor. Sizes run from 3×5 and 4×6 to 8×10, 9×12, 10×14, plus runners and 8 foot rounds.

If you want a rug for decades of use, compare hand-knotted wool first; if you want the look in a busy room, a washable oriental design is easier to live with. Our Persian and oriental rugs buyer’s guide explains the terms, patterns and how to read a listing, and the hand-knotted wool rugs guide covers knot quality and care. Size help is in the rug size guide; long pieces are in runner rugs.

• Check the construction line on each listing: hand-knotted, hand-tufted, power-loomed or washable.
• Pair an oriental runner in the hall with a matching living room rug.
• Use a rug pad under hand-knotted rugs to reduce wear.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Persian rug and an oriental rug?

Traditionally, a Persian rug is woven in Iran, while oriental rug is a broader term for rugs from many weaving regions. Today both names are also used for Persian-style and oriental designs made elsewhere. Check each listing for construction and material.

Are these rugs handmade?

Some are. Hand-knotted and hand-tufted pieces say so in their names and product details. Others are power-loomed or washable rugs with a traditional design.

Can I get a Persian-style rug that is washable?

Yes. Many washable rugs in this collection carry oriental and medallion designs, and some are also indoor-outdoor rugs.

How do I care for an oriental rug?

Vacuum regularly without a beater bar, blot spills right away, and rotate the rug to even out wear. Hand-knotted wool rugs usually benefit from professional cleaning; follow the care notes on the product page.
