Enter the Magical World of Persian Carpets
Come with us on a journey through the magical world of Persian rugs. We invite both novices and connoisseurs alike to explore the timeless beauty and culture of these centuries-old artifacts. We delve into the history where every knot and colour speaks of human ingenuity and cultural impact.
Not just an introduction to buying and caring for Persian rugs. This guide is an invitation to join a centuries-old narrative, covering traditional weaving techniques, symbolism in design, and the role of rugs in Persian culture. Each rug is a tapestry of colourful motifs reminiscent of the tales of Alibaba and the magic carpet in Aladdin.
We’ll help you navigate the intricacies of buying rugs with confidence, understand traditional and modern styles, and learn the art of rug care so you can preserve and extend the life of your own rugs. We also look at the industry’s heart: from the designers, weavers and dealers, to the restorers preserving this ancient craft.
As custodians of this art, owners play a crucial role in preserving these rugs for future generations. The essence of the craft of Persian rug-weaving—the manual skill, attention to detail, and storytelling through motifs—that is the hallmark of Persian rugs, transcends the mere creation of a functional item.
