A Shape Steeped in History
Round rugs have been part of rug-weaving traditions for centuries. In ancient Persia and Turkey, nomadic weavers used circular formats for efficiency and portability. These early rugs featured bold geometric patterns, tribal symbols, and practical sizes for tent life. As artistry evolved, so did the sophistication of round designs floral motifs, intricate medallions, and even mosaic-inspired patterns began to emerge.
Today, you’ll find round rugs in a range of styles and sizes. From Moroccan Beni Ourain pieces with their minimalist charm to intricately knotted Indian rounds, the diversity is unmatched. Whether oversized or compact, the circle remains a powerful shape that adds movement and softness wherever it’s placed.
