Persian area rugs are one of the most highly sought after Oriental area rugs. Persian rugs of the highest value are usually hand–knotted by a skilled weaver, or several skilled weavers working together, depending on the size of the area rug. These area rugs often have beautiful designs that are distinctive to Iranian culture and the culture of their ancestors. As you may know, Persian rugs have been a large part of Iranian culture for years. Iranians, one of the first people to make area rugs, have actually been making area rugs for over 2,500 years.

Authentic hand–knotted Persian area rugs can bear a hefty price tag, but once you indulge yourself in the beauty, warmth, and timeless elegance of one, it’s hard to say no! In fact, in many Iranian homes, Persian area rugs are their most valuable possession.
