Shop Hunting carpets are a unique and fascinating type of handmade rug that tell stories through their design. These carpets usually feature scenes of hunters on horseback, animals like deer and lions, and detailed trees and landscapes. The tradition of hunting carpets goes back to ancient Persia and the Mughal era in India, where they were often made for royal families and palaces. Each rug is hand-knotted with great care, turning every scene into a piece of woven history and art.

What makes hunting carpets so special is their storytelling. Unlike simple patterns or floral designs, these rugs show action and life—archers aiming at prey, animals in motion, and dramatic, flowing scenes. They often use rich colors like deep red, forest green, navy blue, and gold to bring the story to life. Many are made with wool or silk and have a high knot count, allowing for sharp, detailed images. Some carpets even take a year or more to finish, depending on the size and level of detail.
