Rug Types and Design
By FloorsandSurfaces.com

Rug Types & Design
Rug designs these days range from classic Persian patterns from the 16th Century to 19th Century British Arts and Crafts works to many of the new contemporary modern pieces.

William Morris:
Named for the famous English poet, designer, writer and innovator in the Arts and Crafts movement in the late 19th century, who lived from 1834-1896.

Kashan:
This design has a central medallion, and often quarter-medallions. These medallions are sometimes of scrolls and flowers.

Herati:
This name comes from the name of the pattern that repeats itself on this rug. It often uses rich reds, true blues, green, cream and yellow on indigo fields. The borders are usually adorned with flowers, and occasionally, a "fish" or "crab" pattern is used.

Tabriz:
The Jahver Tabrizs, which are the older pieces of this category, have a medallion and often use pastel colors. There are also usually cartouches in the borders with Arabic inscriptions. Some Tabrizs also follow the designs for prayer rugs.

Mahal:
A loosely knotted piece, with either a repetitive flower pattern, or a central medallion.

Sarouk:
A Sarouk is a floral design, with a medallion and often with animal dyes.

Serapi:
Similar to Herez, but more angular, Serapis contain two or three superimposed central medallions and floral borders.
