What is an Oriental Rug?

What Really Defines an Oriental Rug?

 

At Kaoud Rugs, we believe that the beauty of an Oriental rug lies not just in its design but in the craftsmanship that brings it to life. Contrary to what many might think, the term "Oriental" doesn’t refer to any specific style, color, or pattern. Instead, it denotes the meticulous hand-knotting technique that makes each rug a work of art. From intricate traditional patterns to modern, minimalist designs, Oriental rugs encompass a wide range of aesthetics.

Understanding the Craftsmanship

The term "Oriental" is a nod to the labor-intensive hand-knotting process that sets these rugs apart from mass-produced alternatives. Each knot is tied by hand, often taking months or even years to complete, depending on the rug’s size and complexity. This craftsmanship results in a durable, one-of-a-kind piece that can last for generations.

Diverse Designs for Every Taste

 

One of the most common misconceptions is that Oriental rugs must follow a certain design or color palette. In reality, these rugs come in a variety of styles—from tribal and traditional to contemporary and transitional. At Kaoud Rugs, our collection includes something for everyone, whether you're drawn to bold geometric patterns or intricate floral motifs.
