Allover Rugs

Every rug shopper eventually meets the medallion problem: a beautiful center that the coffee table sits on, the sectional covers, or the room's off-center layout throws out of balance. Allover rugs are the weaving tradition's answer. The pattern repeats across the entire field with no center to protect, so furniture lands wherever life puts it and the design simply continues underneath, unbothered. Interior designers reach for allover fields more than any other layout for exactly this reason. Every allover rug on this page is hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind, and photographed exactly as it will arrive.

The repertoire is some of the most beloved drawing in Persia. The Herati, the endlessly repeating garden the trade calls the fish pattern, reaches its finest form in our Moud rugs and armors the famous fields of our Persian Bijar rugs. The spacious decorator scale lives in our Mahal rugs, palmettes and vines with generous air between them, and the walled-garden panels of our Bakhtiar rugs take the repeat in the most storied direction of all. From across a room these fields read as rich texture; from up close, as worlds.

Allover is also the layout that survives redecorating: rearrange the furniture in five years and the rug never notices. If you are weighing allover against a medallion for a specific room, send the layout to our chat any hour and a rug person will talk it through honestly.
