Frequently Asked Questions

Are Oriental rugs handmade?

Many Oriental rugs are handwoven using traditional techniques passed down through generations, though construction can vary by region, design, and origin. Some styles may also be machine-made. Our team can help you identify the craftsmanship, materials, and construction details of each rug so you can make an informed choice.

How are Oriental rugs different from Persian rugs?

Each region has its own materials, motifs, and weaving techniques, resulting in a wide range of styles and designs.
