Oriental village rugs:
Loori, Hosseinabad, Malyer, bidjar, senneh…
A reflection of local craftsmanship, it was from the second half of the 19th century that many rug designs and patterns were developed, often drawing inspiration from earlier creations.
These creations bear witness to ancestral know-how passed down from generation to generation.

The charm of these rugs is above all due to their simple or even naïve patterns, the quality of the wools and their astonishing colors.
