Persian rugs are supreme quality hand knotted rugs that originated in Persia (present day Iran), these rugs generally have a high knots per square inch (KPSI) count & are intricately designed with utmost finesse.  These rugs have a peculiar pattern & are designed traditionally but are equally popular in the present times & always high in demand.
Persian rugs are like fine wine, the older it gets the better it is.
Though these rugs originated in Iran but now are manufactured all over the oriental belt. Here we share with you some fascinating details about these rugs & their ageless beauty.
Difference between Oriental & Persian rugs
Persian rugs are a kind of Oriental rug, which means all Persian rug are oriental but not all oriental rugs are Persian. The one main thing that differentiates a Persian rug from an Oriental rug is the kind of knot used while hand-knotting the rug.



The Persian knot is open at one end, is also asymmetrical. The benefit of tying these knots is that it allows closer & tighter knots thereby resulting in more fine detailed & intricate designs with a nice lush pile. This intricacy & finesse makes these rugs the finest hand knotted rugs.
Types of Persian rugs
Though the general picture that comes to our mind when we think of Persian rugs is that of a lush pile intricately designed hand knotted one but Persian rugs have a lot more to offer. Other commonly seen Persian rugs are the Heriz rugs, Gabbeh rugs, flat woven rugs like Soumak&Kilim. This is some information, isn’t it?
How to care for these priceless possessions?
Persian rugs are worth a fortune both price wise &looks wise which makes it equally essential to ensure proper care of these precious beauties.
i.      Save your rug from wear & tear by periodically rotating it ensure equal distribution of foot traffic.
ii.        In case of indentation caused by furniture, lightly moisten the indented part with water &brush the pile in opposite direction of the suppression or in the direction of the rug pile with help of a soft bristled brush.
iii.   Avoid sun fading of the rug due to exposure to sunlight. Either use blinds/screens for the windows or keep rotating your rug or simply avoid placing your rugs in direct sunlight.
