Round rug
A round rug has a circular outline instead of the usual rectangle; our titles call them Circular. Dealers describe them as far less common than rectangular rugs, some knotted round on an ordinary rectangular loom with the circle formed in the knotting. Others, like our antique Bakhtiari, are cut round from a rectangular rug and the edge bound by hand.
