oriental carpet
Knotted textile underfoot
A handwoven rug traditionally made in Asia, particularly in regions like Persia (Iran), Turkey, Afghanistan, and the Caucasus.
Oriental carpets are known for intricate patterns, rich colors, and craftsmanship—often knotted by hand from wool or silk.
The term encompasses many regional styles: a Persian oriental carpet with medallion designs.
Sometimes used loosely for any carpet with traditional Middle Eastern or Asian motifs, whether handmade or machine-produced.
