What is a persian Rug?

Persian rugs are simply rugs that are produced in Ancient Persia, modern-day Iran. Persian rugs are hand-knotted using a specific Persian knot that allows fibers to be densely woven. This method of weaving dates by 2500 years and produces an extremely high-quality rug that will last for generations. Persian rugs are constructed from dyed wool making the rug even more durable.

Persian rugs are versatile in design so they fit well with most design styles. They are extremely durable, resist fading, and last for years. For ideas that inspire and delight, we’ve gathered our favorite Persian rug ideas.
