Collection: Red Rugs

Why red dominates Oriental rugs

Red is not just one decorative color among others in Oriental rugs: it is the foundational color. Obtained from the madder root, it has dyed wool for centuries and withstands the test of time better than most pigments. It dominates the field of Boukhara, Turkaman, and Yomut rugs, and structures most Kashan and Moud rugs.

Which red for which interior?

Antique Persian pieces lean towards burgundy and garnet, deep and muted. Afghan kilims offer lighter, bolder brick reds. A red rug anchors a room: it works particularly well on light parquet or against white walls, where it becomes the starting point for the entire décor.

From the small accent size to the large living room rug, all our red rugs are knotted or woven by hand and sold with their certificate of origin.
