Why Choose a Persian Rug?

There’s an unmatched richness to Persian rugs — a grounding presence that speaks of history, heritage, and handcraft. They’ve graced the floors of ancient palaces and modern homes alike, not just for their durability, but for their soul. Known for their intricate patterns, rich colors, and unmistakable character, Persian rugs offer a tactile experience that machine-made pieces simply cannot replicate.

Every rug in our collection is hand-knotted by artisans using traditional techniques passed down over generations. The result? Pieces that are never mass-produced, always meaningful, and designed to last for decades, if not centuries.

Made by Hand. Woven with History.

At Orientalist Home, we collaborate directly with master weavers to bring you authentic Persian rugs that honor centuries of tradition. Hand-knotted using soft, resilient wool, each piece takes months — sometimes longer — to complete.

From the density of the knots to the harmony of the patterns and the richness of natural dyes, every detail reflects an uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship. These rugs are not just handmade — they’re heart-made.

The Allure of Vintage Persian Rugs

There’s a certain patina that only time can give. That’s why our collection also includes vintage Persian rugs — lovingly preserved and full of stories. These aren’t just décor pieces; they are conversation starters. The faded reds, soft blues, and warm neutrals bring a sense of lived-in charm to your interiors. Whether you’re creating a layered, eclectic space or complementing a minimalist room with a hint of history, a vintage piece offers a level of character you won’t find anywhere else.

Versatility Meets Timeless Design

No Two Homes — or Stories — Are Alike. Your Rug Shouldn’t Be Either.

Our Persian collection offers a wide range of sizes and motifs — from delicate florals and geometric medallions to bold tribal designs. Whether you're drawn to harmony or contrast, tradition or individuality, you'll find a piece that speaks to your space — and to you.

These rugs blend effortlessly into any interior — be it a modern loft, a cozy reading nook, or a grand entryway. Use them to anchor a living room, bring softness underfoot in the bedroom, or turn a hallway into a gallery of heritage design.

With versatile color palettes — from deep crimsons to serene ivory tones — they complement both contemporary and classic aesthetics, adding warmth, texture, and timeless character wherever they’re placed.

Inspired by Oushak, Made for Today

At Orientalist Home, our Persian rugs draw inspiration from the timeless Oushak weaving tradition — known for its large-scale motifs, graceful color transitions, and understated elegance. Unlike more rigid, symmetrical designs, Oushak-style rugs offer an open, airy aesthetic that brings softness and light into any room. Crafted with plush wool pile, they’re as comforting underfoot as they are captivating to the eye.

Sustainability Meets Storytelling

Choosing a hand-knotted wool rug is not just a design decision — it's an ethical one. Wool is a natural, biodegradable material, and our rugs are made without harmful synthetic chemicals. By supporting handmade production, you're also sustaining artisan communities and reducing environmental impact.

When you buy a Persian rug from Orientalist Home, you’re investing in craftsmanship, culture, and a slower, more thoughtful way of living.

Styling Tips for Your Persian Carpet

• Layer It: Pair your Persian rug with a neutral jute or sisal base for added texture and dimension.
• Mix Old & New: Don’t be afraid to pair your vintage Persian rug with modern furniture — the contrast creates a stunning balance.
• Highlight It: Let your rug be the statement piece. Keep the surrounding décor minimal and let the pattern sing.
• Use Rugs as Art: Hang smaller Persian rugs on the wall as a tapestry. They add warmth and character like no painting can.
