Persian medallions, Ottoman floral borders, intricate geometric repeat patterns — traditional rugs carry centuries of Turkish and Persian design into a contemporary Australian home. Done well, a traditional rug is the most characterful thing in a room: it adds depth, warmth, and the kind of visual richness that takes a space from finished to truly considered.
Our traditional collection includes medallion, floral, and border-pattern styles in a range of palettes — from muted vintage tones to rich jewel colours. Available in rugs, runners, and large-format sizes.

How to Choose a Traditional Rug
Frequently Asked Questions
Let customers speak for us
Perfect for our hallway
Finding the right runner for a long narrow hallway has always been a challenge. The Novara Legacy Rose Runner is absolutely perfect — the modern botanical pattern looks stunning against our floorboards and the dusty rose and charcoal ties in beautifully with our decor. Arrived quickly and well-packaged.
Stunning in person
Photos don't do this rug justice — the pale silver grey colours are richer and more detailed in person. The contemporary minimalist design has such a classic elegance. Soft underfoot but practical enough for everyday life. Would buy from Treasures of Turkey again without hesitation.
Transformed our entrance
Our entrance felt cold and bare before this runner. The contemporary geometric design has completely transformed it — it's the first thing guests comment on. The deep denim blue colour is warm and welcoming. Great pile height, practical for high traffic, and easy to vacuum.
Exactly what I was looking for
I'd been searching for the right rug for my master bedroom for months and the Imperial Nuvola was it. The soft warm grey and blush colour tones work perfectly with my furniture and the contemporary abstract design gives the space such a warm, layered feel. Arrived really well-packaged and the pile is lovely underfoot. Very pleased.
Love it
The Novara Aurelia Runner looks exactly like the photos — the deep denim blue is warm and the contemporary geometric design is elegant without being fussy. Sits flat without a mat underneath. Really lifts the entrance. Fast shipping and well-packed. Five stars.
Great value for money
For the price, the quality is outstanding. The organic textured boho patterning is crisp and the pile is even throughout. We've had it six weeks with two kids and a dog and it still looks great — vacuums up really well. The terracotta and natural beige colour hides everyday wear better than I expected.
Perfect for our living room
We got the 200x290 for our living room and it's absolutely perfect. The terracotta and natural beige tones complement our timber floorboards really well. The weave is tight and it lies completely flat straight out of the bag. Very happy — delivery was faster than expected.
Stunning in person
Photos don't do this rug justice — the ivory and light taupe colours are richer and more detailed in person. The modern soft diamond design has such a classic elegance. Soft underfoot but practical enough for everyday life. Would buy from Treasures of Turkey again without hesitation.
Great value for money
For the price, the quality is outstanding. The bold central medallion patterning is crisp and the pile is even throughout.

Bought two, love them both
Got this one for the lounge and went back and ordered a second in a different size. The classic traditional bordered design looks even better with furniture around it. The deep charcoal and cream is versatile enough to work with almost anything. Fast shipping both times.
Exactly as described
No nasty surprises — the warm neutral grey matched the website photos accurately and the textured Berber-style pattern is just as detailed as it looked. The rug laid flat within a day. Clean-up is easy with just a vacuum. Would definitely recommend.

How are turkish machine-made rugs made?
Turkish machine-made rugs are produced using a power loom, which is a mechanical weaving machine. The power loom allows for mass production and a consistent, precise weave. The process starts with the selection of materials, such as synthetic fibers or natural fibers like wool or cotton. Then, a pattern is programmed into the machine and the loom begins to weave the rug, following the predetermined design. The end result is a durable, affordable, and attractive rug that can be used in a variety of settings.
Machine-made vs handmade
The main difference between machine-made and handmade Turkish rugs is the method of production. Machine-made rugs are produced using power-looms and automated machines, which can mass-produce rugs quickly and consistently. On the other hand, handmade rugs are made by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, such as knotting and weaving, which take longer to produce but result in unique and high-quality products. The material and craftsmanship quality may also differ between machine-made and handmade rugs, with handmade often considered to be of higher quality. The design options and prices can also vary between machine-made and handmade rugs.
