The history of persian rugs
The history of Persian rugs can be traced back to the 8th century BC, when the Persian Empire first began to create rugs. Over the centuries, Persian rugs have been crafted in many different regions of Persia, each region creating its own unique designs. These regions include the Isfahan, Tabriz, Mashad, and Kerman regions. Persian rugs have been exported to many countries around the world, where they have become popular decorations for both homes and businesses.
The main material used in the production of Persian rugs is wool, which is sourced from the local sheep in Iran. Wool is known for its strength, durability, and softness, making it an ideal choice for rug making. Persian rugs are usually made with a combination of wool, silk, and cotton. The combination of these materials creates a rug with a soft, luxurious feel.
Persian rugs are known for their intricate designs. These designs often reflect the culture and history of each region in which the rug was created. Symbols like flowers, birds, and geometric shapes are commonly used in the designs. The use of bright colours is also a characteristic of Persian rugs. Red, orange, turquoise, and yellow are all popular colours used in Persian rugs.
The craftsmanship of Persian rugs is renowned around the world. Each rug is made with great care and attention to detail. The process of making a Persian rug involves carding, spinning, and dyeing the wool before it is woven into a rug. The weaving process can take up to several months or even years to complete, depending on the size and intricacy of the design.
Persian rugs are a timeless piece of art that have been a part of Persian culture for centuries, making them the perfect addition to modern oriental interior design-themed interiors. They are known for their intricate designs, vibrant colours, and fine craftsmanship. Persian rugs are a great way to add a touch of elegance and beauty to any home.
