Transitional Rugs

Transitional rugs sit between traditional and contemporary, taking motifs from Persian, Mughal and Central Asian craft traditions and reworking them in updated palettes and finishes. A familiar structure — a medallion, a trellis, a border — gets translated rather than copied exactly, which is why many of these rugs trace back to a specific painting or architectural reference. Hand-knotted or hand-tufted in India, mostly in wool, wool-silk or wool-viscose blends, ranging from quiet tonal pieces to bold statement rugs. If your furniture mixes old and new, look here first.
