Origin & Country Rugs

Oriental rugs help upgrade the look and feel of your space as they lend an air of sophistication and culture to any room. Cyrus Artisan Rugs offers a wide selection of area rugs and carpets of various origin, including Afghan, Armenian, Indian, Chinese, and Nepal. The rugs from these areas typically feature bold designs and timeless craftsmanship, enabling them to inject warmth, color, and decorative interest to any interior space.

Premium Handcrafted Rugs from Around the Globe

Renowned for their superior craftsmanship and exquisite artistry, Oriental carpets come from a variety of nations and cultures along the Rug Belt—a string of countries known for producing the most beautiful, high-quality rugs by hand. These are typically made with wool or silk and come in a variety of vibrant colors. Persian rugs (handmade rugs from Iran) are typically the most popular, but all carpets produced in countries that are known for using ancient rug weaving techniques offer the best quality and the most timeless designs.

Available in traditional, contemporary, transitional, and tribal rug styles, Cyrus Artisan Rugs has one of the largest collections of authentic antique rugs of various origin. Whether hand-woven, hand-tufted, or hand-knotted, these rugs are artisanal statement pieces that come in a panoply of colors, designs, and patterns to suit almost any type of home decor.

How to Identify Rug Origin

Traditional rugs may all appear similar at first glance, but there are some nuances that can help you ascertain where the rug was created. These differences usually have to do with the materials used, the colors, and the subjects depicted within the design. For instance, handmade Afghan carpets typically have geometric patterns and do not make use of human or animal subjects, as this is forbidden in Islamic culture. Meanwhile, Nepalese rugs normally feature a wool pile and are characterized by strong colors and rich ornamental designs with Buddhist symbols.

If you’re looking to find rugs of a specific origin, Cyrus Artisan Rugs has a wide array of Armenian, Nepalese, Indian, Turkish, Persian, Egyptian, and Afghan rugs, to name a few. To ensure that what you’re getting is an authentic piece that originates from one of the best carpet-making countries in the world, always purchase from a reputable seller.
