Persian Rugs Guide

Persian Rugs are exquisite and highly sought-after floor coverings that originate from Iran, renowned for their intricate designs, superb craftsmanship, and rich cultural heritage. Traditionally hand-knotted by skilled artisans, these rugs often feature complex motifs such as floral patterns, medallions, and detailed border designs, which are steeped in symbolism and storytelling. Persian rugs are made using high-quality materials like wool, silk, and cotton, and are dyed with natural colors to create vibrant, lasting hues. Each rug is unique, reflecting the particular traditions of the region or tribe from which it originates. Known for their durability and luxurious texture, Persian rugs are considered timeless art pieces that enhance the elegance and sophistication of any interior space.
