Persian, Oriental, Turkish & Tribal Handwoven Rugs
Our collection brings together handwoven carpets from a variety of weaving traditions, regions and periods. Depending on current availability, you may discover Persian rugs, Oriental carpets, Turkish rugs, Afghan carpets, tribal and nomadic rugs, kilims and other regional handwoven textiles.
The selection ranges from finely knotted carpets with detailed floral medallions and classical motifs to geometric tribal designs and flatwoven pieces with bold patterns and natural tones. Rugs may feature wool pile, wool on cotton foundations, flatwoven constructions and traditional hand-knotting techniques, reflecting the diversity of carpet-making traditions represented in our collection.
Individual pieces may include examples associated with weaving centres and traditions such as Hereke, Kazakh, Afghan, Persian and Anatolian rugs, alongside figurative, floral, geometric and tribal compositions.
Materials, Weaving Techniques & Decorative Character
A handwoven carpet is defined not only by its origin or age, but also by its materials, weaving technique, structure and design. Our selection includes rugs chosen individually according to factors such as wool quality, foundation, knotting or weaving technique, condition, age, colours and visual presence.
Some carpets feature refined floral patterns and central medallions, while others are characterised by bold geometric motifs, tribal symbols, striped compositions or figurative scenes. Natural variations in weave, colour and patina are part of the individual character of many antique and vintage handwoven rugs.
