🏛️ Traditional


The Traditional Collection from Kismet Fine Rugs honors classical rug-making at its highest expression — hand-knotted masterpieces in 100% wool, 100% silk, or a wool–silk blend. Medallions, palmettes, vines, and guard borders are rendered with scholarly fidelity and elevated materials, inviting a sense of heritage and quiet grandeur into the modern home.

Each rug is woven by master artisans using time-honored techniques and thoughtfully curated palettes. From courtly Tabriz-inspired fields to village Heriz geometry and softly abrash Oushak grounds, these designs bring continuity, craftsmanship, and lasting beauty to any room.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Traditional Collection

What defines a traditional rug?

Traditional rugs reference historic weaving centers and motifs — medallions, arabesques, and floral borders — balanced with authentic palettes and proportions.

What materials do you use?

Only 100% wool, 100% silk, or a wool–silk blend, consistent with our materials standard for all collections.

Will a traditional rug work in a modern interior?

Yes. The structure and symmetry of classical patterns lend warmth and gravitas to contemporary spaces while remaining visually composed.

How should I size and place it?

Allow 8–12" of floor reveal for tailored framing. In dining rooms, plan ~24" beyond the table edge for smooth chair movement.
