Woven Eastern textile
An oriental rug is a handwoven carpet traditionally made in Asia, particularly in regions like Persia, Turkey, China, and the Caucasus.
These rugs feature intricate patterns—often geometric or floral—and are valued for craftsmanship and durability.
The term encompasses various regional styles: Persian rugs, Turkish kilims, Chinese silk rugs.
