Palace Size Rugs — 14x18 & Larger Handmade Oriental Rugs
Some rooms are simply too large for any standard rug. For great halls, ballrooms, estate living rooms, and grand commercial spaces, palace-size rugs are the answer. This collection includes hand-knotted Oriental rugs 14x18 and larger, with pieces reaching 18x24 feet and beyond — new and vintage, in natural wool and wool-and-silk.
Why Palace Size Rugs Are Rare
A hand-knotted rug this large requires a massive loom, a team of weavers, and many months — often more than a year — of continuous work. Few workshops produce them, and vintage examples in good condition are even harder to find. Every piece in this collection is one of a kind.
Where They Belong
- Great rooms and estate living rooms — one rug for the entire space
- Ballrooms and formal halls — a single, unbroken design across the floor
- Hotel lobbies, offices, and boardrooms — durable, impressive, and acoustically softening
- Places of worship and event spaces — large-scale coverage with handmade character
Planning for a Very Large Rug
- Measure carefully — leave 12 to 24 inches of floor around the edges in very large rooms
- Plan the delivery route — large rugs are heavy; check doorways, stairs, and turns before delivery
- Use a custom-cut rug pad — essential for grip, cushioning, and floor protection
If your space is a little smaller, see our 12x18 and 12x15 rugs.
Care
Rotate when practical, vacuum with suction only, and have the rug professionally cleaned by a hand-knotted rug specialist every few years.
