Persian rugs have been produced
for thousands of years but the industry really came into it's own
in the 16th century. The design or style of a particular oriental rug is unique to each region in Iran and has been passed on
through the centuries.
When looking for a Persian
carpet,
the best quality are those with a greater number of knots per
square inch. The more knots per square inch, the longer it has
taken to create the rug. This of course is reflected in the price.
Other factors to consider when
shopping for Persian carpets are the quality of the wool or silk
used to weave the rug, the symmetry of the design and the
complexity of the design.
Persian rugs are surprisingly
affordable considering the amount of work and effort that has gone
into making them. Purchasing a quality Persian rug will not only
be a good investment but will also add greatly to the beauty of
your home.
