Oriental Rugs

andcrafted textiles from Asia's "Rug Belt" (Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa) known for intricate designs, rich colors, and skilled knotting using materials like wool, silk, cotton; they vary from pile-woven to flat-woven (Kilim) and feature diverse regional styles (Persian, Turkish, Chinese) with patterns reflecting local culture, serving as floor coverings, decor, or prayer mats. Authentic ones are always hand-knotted, creating unique textures and designs that machine-made versions can't replicate, often becoming treasured heirlooms.
