Classic pattern with a lived-in look

Traditional rugs borrow from Persian and Oriental rug-making: a central medallion, a field of scrolling flowers or a repeat motif, framed by one or more borders. Many of today's designs are deliberately faded or distressed to look like a well-loved heirloom, which makes them surprisingly easy to live with, because everyday marks and crumbs disappear into the pattern.

Where traditional rugs work

  • Under a dining table, where the border frames the table. See dining room rugs.
  • In a modern room, as a contrast to clean-lined furniture.
  • In kitchens and hallways, where an all-over vintage pattern hides wear.

Our traditional designs are inspired by Persian and Oriental rugs rather than hand-knotted antiques, and most are machine woven. See Persian-style rugs and the rug styles glossary.

Questions about traditional & vintage rugs

Are these genuine Persian rugs?

No. They are designs inspired by Persian and Oriental rugs. A genuine Persian rug is hand knotted in Iran.

Do traditional rugs suit modern homes?

Yes. A faded traditional rug under a modern sofa or dining table is one of the most popular ways to add warmth to a contemporary room.

How should a medallion rug be placed?

Centre the medallion on the main piece of furniture, such as the coffee table or dining table, so the pattern looks deliberate.
