Hand Knotted Wool Medallion Rug – Oriental Traditional Area Rug
Bring timeless Oriental craftsmanship into your home with this hand knotted wool rug, meticulously crafted by skilled rural artisans in Bhadohi, India — the renowned Carpet City of India. Featuring a traditional medallion pattern, floral motifs, ornamental borders and a softly aged Oriental aesthetic, this handmade area rug adds warmth, character and heritage to both classic and contemporary interiors.
Each rug is individually hand knotted using hand-spun New Zealand wool, creating a naturally rich texture and a comfortable surface underfoot. With an approximately 8 mm pile thickness and 3000 GSM construction, it offers a refined balance of durability, texture and everyday comfort.
Unlike machine-made carpets, this rug is created knot by knot by artisans using traditional carpet-making techniques passed through generations in the Bhadohi weaving community. The hand-spun wool gives the surface subtle variations in texture and colour, making every piece unique.
Traditional Oriental Medallion Design
The design combines a distinctive central medallion, floral ornamentation, scrolling botanical details and decorative borders inspired by traditional Oriental carpet aesthetics. Its muted, vintage-inspired palette allows it to complement a wide range of interiors without overpowering the surrounding furniture.
Depending on the selected design and colourway, these rugs can work beautifully as:
- Traditional living room rugs
- Luxury bedroom rugs
- Dining room area rugs
- Hallway and entryway rugs
- Study and home office rugs
- Layered rugs for contemporary interiors
- Accent rugs for apartments and luxury homes
- Heritage-inspired interior décor
Hand Knotted with New Zealand Wool
Made from New Zealand wool, the rug combines the natural warmth and resilience of wool with the character of traditional hand knotting. The wool is hand spun, giving the finished rug an authentic artisanal texture that differs from mass-produced machine-made carpets.
Crafted by Rural Bhadohi Artisans
Every rug is made in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India, where generations of weaving families have preserved the traditional art of handmade carpet production.
Our artisans carefully create each rug by hand, making every piece more than simply a floor covering — it is a representation of Indian carpet-making heritage, skilled craftsmanship and rural artisan workmanship.

Handmade Means Every Rug Is Individual
Because this is a genuinely handmade and hand-knotted rug, minor variations in colour, texture, knot formation and pattern placement are natural characteristics of the craftsmanship. These subtle differences are part of what makes handmade rugs unique and should not be considered manufacturing defects.
The appearance of the rug may also vary slightly depending on lighting, photography and the display settings of your screen.
