Persian rugs are the origin of the art of hand-knotting. Every carpet in this collection is a genuine hand-knotted piece from the great weaving regions of Persia, selected by us for its knot density, natural materials and condition. As the producer we source directly from the regions, without middlemen, and every rug comes with origin, age, knot count and material stated.
The collection covers the classic centres: fine, dense city rugs from Tabriz, Nain and Keshan with elaborate medallions and floral designs; robust village rugs from Hamadan and Heriz with bold geometric patterns; nomadic pieces from Shiraz and Kazak with tribal motifs; and Ziegler rugs with their soft, faded colours and open designs. Sizes range from small rugs and runners to large formats over 350 cm.
Hand-spun wool on a cotton or wool foundation, natural dyes and knot densities up to several hundred thousand knots per square metre: these rugs are made to last for generations. Every rug has its own video, which shows the real colours and pattern more accurately than the pictures. Free EU shipping, free rug pad and 30-day money-back guarantee.
By the hand-knotted back, where the pattern is visible in mirror image, the slight irregularities of handwork, and the fringe, which is part of the foundation and not sewn on. Every rug we sell is a hand-knotted original with a certificate of authenticity.
Tabriz, Nain and Keshan for fine, elegant classic rugs. Hamadan and Heriz for robust rugs with strong patterns and everyday use. Shiraz and Kazak for a tribal, informal look. Ziegler for soft colours in a modern home.
The number of knots per square metre. More knots allow finer detail and mean more work. City rugs reach 500,000 knots and more, village rugs 100,000 to 300,000. Both are genuine and durable, the difference is in fineness and price.
Very much. A single classic Persian rug on a plain floor with modern furniture is one of the most timeless combinations in interior design.
