Shop Handmade Traditional Rugs
Traditional rugs bring timeless design, craftsmanship and character to a home. At Shabahang Rug Gallery, our collection includes hand-knotted Persian, Oriental and traditional rugs featuring classic patterns, rich colors and designs inspired by generations of rug-making traditions.
What Defines a Traditional Rug?
Traditional rugs often feature detailed medallions, floral patterns, borders, geometric motifs and other classic design elements. Depending on the rug, colors can range from rich reds, blues and golds to softer neutrals and more understated palettes.
Decorating with Traditional Rugs
Traditional area rugs work beautifully in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, libraries, offices and formal spaces. They can complement classic furnishings or create an elegant contrast in contemporary interiors.
When choosing a traditional rug, consider the scale of the pattern, colors, size and how the design relates to the furniture and architecture of your room. Because handmade rugs are individually crafted, exact dimensions, colors and design characteristics may vary from piece to piece.
The Shabahang family's rug tradition dates to 1885. Browse our current traditional rug collection below, or visit Shabahang Rug Gallery in Waukesha for help finding a rug that complements your home.
