The Oriental Weavers Group was founded in 1979 by industrialist and entrepreneur Mohammed Farid Khamis. Listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange since 1997, the Group has grown from a single loom operation to the largest producer of machine-woven carpets in the world. Oriental Weavers of America is the US division of the Group, with manufacturing and distribution facilities on five continents, distributing products in more than 130 countries worldwide. Their US subsidiary has been based in Dalton, Georgia — America’s carpet capital — since 1994. Carefree Home Furnishings is an authorised Oriental Weavers dealer with free shipping sitewide.

Most Oriental Weavers rugs are power-loomed or machine-woven, using polyester, nylon, wool and other long-lasting materials. Power-looming uses computer-controlled mechanical looms that replicate the intricate pattern and colour depth of hand-knotted rugs at a fraction of the cost and production time. Oriental Weavers is particularly skilled at colour and design, using innovative techniques to achieve looks that replicate authentic hand-woven or antique aesthetics at a very reasonable cost. The brand also offers hand-tufted and handmade collections for buyers seeking a more artisanal product, and jet-printed rugs that allow for photographic-quality pattern reproduction. This breadth of construction methods means Oriental Weavers can offer the right product for every room and budget.

Oriental Weavers rugs are made in the USA, Egypt, India, China and Turkey, with the specific manufacturing location depending on the collection and construction method. The US manufacturing facility is in Dalton, Georgia, where several of the brand’s power-loomed collections are produced domestically. Egypt is the primary manufacturing base for the Oriental Weavers Group globally, drawing on Egypt’s deep-rooted textile heritage dating back to approximately 5000 BC. Hand-tufted collections are manufactured in regions with strong artisan weaving traditions. Oriental Weavers selects manufacturing locations based on which facility can deliver the highest quality for each specific construction technique.

Oriental Weavers is considered a quality company on the machine-made side. They use quality synthetic fibres that perform well in high-traffic areas and are more stain-resistant than many competing manufacturers using lower-quality yarns. The brand’s core value proposition, as they state it themselves, is that their rugs can be enjoyed for years but are affordable enough to replace as often as you redecorate — quality without overcommitting financially. They offer variety across styles, materials, and price points, with global craftsmanship combined with innovative technology making quality accessible. For buyers who want a well-made, stylish, durable area rug that will perform reliably in everyday household conditions, Oriental Weavers consistently delivers.

Oriental Weavers offers a very wide range of named collections to suit different styles and rooms. Traditional and oriental collections include Aberdeen (jewel tones, symmetrical medallions, fringe), Kashan, Maharaja, Lilihan, Lucca, and Palace — all designed to replicate the look of authentic Persian and Oriental hand-knotted rugs. Transitional collections include Andorra, Richmond, and Caravan. Contemporary and abstract collections include Evolution, Genesis, Nebulous, and Ariana. Indoor and outdoor collections like Marina provide all-weather performance with fade-resistant weaves for patios and decks. Machine-washable collections are available for high-traffic family areas. The breadth of the collection range means Oriental Weavers can outfit every room in a home from a single brand.

Yes — Oriental Weavers offers dedicated indoor-outdoor rug collections engineered specifically for outdoor use. Their outdoor rugs are constructed from solution-dyed polypropylene fibres that are UV-stable, fade-resistant, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean. They are designed to withstand the conditions of patios, decks, covered porches, and entryways — sun exposure, rain, foot traffic, and outdoor debris — without degrading in appearance or structure. Indoor-outdoor options provide all-weather performance with fade-resistant weaves. For buyers outfitting an outdoor kitchen or patio, an Oriental Weavers outdoor rug under the dining set or conversation seating adds warmth, definition, and colour to the outdoor space without the maintenance concerns of an indoor rug used outside.

Oriental Weavers rugs are made from polyester, nylon, wool, and other long-lasting materials, ensuring exceptional durability and stain resistance. Polypropylene (olefin) is used in budget-friendly and outdoor collections — it is highly stain-resistant and easy to clean. Polyester is used in mid-range power-loomed collections — it offers excellent colour vibrancy and soft texture. Nylon provides the highest durability and resilience for high-traffic areas. Wool is used in hand-tufted and premium power-loomed collections — it offers natural soil resistance, warmth, and a luxurious feel underfoot. The material used in any given collection is matched to the intended use case, price point, and construction method — verify the specific material for the collection you are considering at the time of purchase.

Care instructions vary by collection and fibre type. Machine-washable styles go in the washer. For wool pieces, professional cleaning works best. Vacuum regularly with low suction. For synthetic power-loomed rugs (polypropylene, polyester, nylon), routine vacuuming on a low-suction setting without a beater bar is recommended for weekly maintenance. Spot-clean spills immediately with a mild carpet cleaner and a clean cloth — blot rather than rub to prevent spreading. For deeper cleaning, most synthetic Oriental Weavers rugs can be cleaned with a hose and gentle detergent and left to air dry flat. Never place a damp rug back on a hardwood floor before it is fully dry. For outdoor rugs, periodic hosing down is sufficient for routine cleaning.

Oriental Weavers offers one of the widest size ranges in the area rug category, with most popular collections available from small accent sizes through to large-format 10×14 and 12×15 options. Standard sizes include 2×3 accent rugs, 2×8 and 2×10 runners, 5×8 and 5×7 medium room sizes, 8×10 large room sizes, and 10×13 and 10×14 statement sizes for open plan living spaces. Round and square options are available in select collections. For buyers furnishing multiple rooms, purchasing from the same Oriental Weavers collection in different sizes creates a cohesive whole-home aesthetic. Size availability varies by collection — confirm the specific sizes available for your chosen collection before purchasing.

Oriental Weavers’ core competitive advantage is the combination of authentic design depth and fibre quality at accessible price points. They are wizards at pulling off authentic hand-woven or antique looks and giving you great results at a very reasonable cost. Compared to lesser-known brands at similar price points, Oriental Weavers benefits from 45 years of accumulated design and manufacturing expertise, the resources of the world’s largest machine-woven carpet group, and a domestic US manufacturing facility that enables faster restocking and tighter quality control on domestic collections. The breadth of collections — from traditional Persian and Oriental to contemporary abstract to indoor-outdoor — means buyers can find an Oriental Weavers rug for virtually any room and aesthetic need without compromising on quality or price.
