Oval Persian Rugs

The oval is the circle at full stride: the same continuous curve, given direction. In the weaving, that grace is earned the hard way, since an oval's edge changes its angle with every row, and the weaver must shape a line that never repeats itself from one end of the rug to the other. The result is the gentlest presence in the rare-format family, a rug with no corners to interrupt it and a length that follows the way rooms and tables actually run. Every oval Persian rug on this page is hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind, and photographed exactly as it will arrive.

The oval's natural home is under an oval or extending dining table, where the rug's curve echoes the tabletop and every pulled-out chair stays on the weave. It serves just as well in entries and kitchens, wherever traffic flows around rather than across, softening rooms whose furniture is all straight lines. Under the right table, no other shape looks finished in quite the same way.

When the floor asks a different question, the family has an answer: round rugs center a foyer or breakfast nook perfectly, octagon rugs offer the trade's most distinctive geometry for spaces with presence, and square rugs resolve the landings and corners built on four equal sides. Whichever curve or corner your room calls for, our rug experts will match it with you on phone or chat, any hour of the day. Free shipping and free returns in all 50 states and Canada mean shape decisions get made in your room, at your pace, at no risk.
