FAQs

A high-quality Persian rug is hand-knotted with natural fibers like wool, silk, or cotton. Indicators of quality include knot density (measured in knots per square inch), the clarity of the design, evenness in weave, and the use of natural dyes. Authenticity, craftsmanship, and age also contribute to overall value.

Traditional Persian rugs are handmade, which is part of what makes them so valuable. Machine-made versions exist but do not carry the same craftsmanship, detail, or longevity. Always verify the rug's origin and technique to ensure you're purchasing an authentic piece.

Authentic Persian rugs originate from Iran (formerly Persia). Various cities and regions like Tabriz, Isfahan, Kashan, Qom, and Heriz are known for distinct rug styles and patterns. Each region’s rugs have unique color schemes, motifs, and knotting techniques.
