Styling vintage Persian rugs


Adding a vintage Persian rug to your interior space can dramatically change the look of the room.

If you intend to use heavily patterned wallpaper or upholstery, keep your Persian rug subdued and subtle. If you plan on choosing a busily patterned rug, keep the décor of your furniture and walls minimal and neutral. These contrasts will keep your room from feeling too fussy or hectic.

If you plan to set heavy furniture on your Persian rug, like a sofa or armchair, try to use furniture coasters. Glass coasters disperse the weight of the furniture more evenly, preventing the weight from crushing your rug.

Antique Persian rugs


Like all Oriental rugs, every Persian rug is meticulously hand-knotted by expert artisans over many months. Each rug is a unique reflection of the weaver and a completely distinct piece of art.

Unlike other Oriental rugs, Persian rugs are exclusively crafted in Iran. In ancient times, the unrivalled quality of Persian rugs made them highly popular with traders on the Silk Road.

According to age-old beliefs and traditions, geometric shapes and symbolic designs protect the Persian rug’s owner from malevolence and misfortune. Persian rug designs, including geometric animals, people, and objects, are a timeless example of art imitating life and life imitating art.

Today, the complex and beautiful designs of Persian rugs continue to inspire artists, designers, and home decor all over the world.

Many of the same weaving techniques and methods that made antique Persian rugs famous are still used to produce exquisite wool and silk rugs with vibrant hues and elaborate designs. Whether you’re seeking a traditional rug to complement a formal vintage dining table and chair set, or you’d love to introduce some global flair to a contemporary living space, you can’t go wrong with a piece from our vintage Persian rugs collection.
