Large Rugs Oversized Palace Hand Knotted Oriental Area Carpets

Large area rugs Oversize palace carpets are among the most prestigious addition to any home. Some of the finest most recognizable carpets in history are those of which are significantly larger than the average 5x8, 69 or 8x10 sized area rug. Take for example some very old surviving Safavid carpets from the 16th and 17th centuries. Carpets such as the Ardabil carpets, Coronation carpet, as well as the Safra Carpet are all tremendous in dimensions. All of these carpets fall into the category of large oversized Palace rugs, not only for their intended location of use, but also the more unusual lengths and widths - exceeding 10' in width, and greater than 22' in length.

Generally a large and oversized rug or carpet would be considered such if its measurements are in excess of 220 square feet. However, other contignencies also play into effect as well. Most carpet production is confined to less than 12' wide due to the standard width of any typical large loom. In order for a large oversized area rug to be made, a special loom may sometimes be constructed to accomodate the exceedingly large measurements. However, even a 10' wide carpet may be qualified as an oversized rug provided it's length is also unusually long - generally in excess of 22'.

It's unusual to find an oversized carpet from from a village or tribal weaving area, such as an antique Shiraz carpet, or Yezd. Although very large rugs are hard to find, an Indian palace rug is very unusual in a 19' width and 43' length. Silk Tabriz rugs are among the finer old antique rugs which sometimes may be found in large rug sizes. Large Kerman Rugs Tabriz carpets and Persian Sarouk are among the more desirable large rugs.
