The term “Triclinium rugs” refers to rugs that have a design with the appearance of four rugs placed together. While it is believed that historically these rugs were sold individually in a grouping, triclinium rug now refers to one individual rug. The most common use of these triclinium rugs is to house a low table on the main, center carpet and provide floor seating on the runner rugs around it. They are rare rugs, and most of them in existence are antiques with no new ones being produced in recent years. They are a real treasure to find in the world of Oriental carpets.
