Oriental rugs are rugs that come from the Orient – the part of the world comprising anything that belongs to the Eastern world in relation to Europe (the Occident). This includes the Near, Middle and Far East but, in the colloquial meaning of the term – also northern Africa. Oriental rugs constitute probably the largest family of floor coverings in the whole world, consisting of Turkish rugs, Chinese Rugs, Moroccan Rugs, Indian Rugs, and, of course, Persian rugs which come strictly from the territory of ancient Iran.
