Persian carpet designs

Types

The different types of carpets in Persia can be divided into three distinct categories:

  • Roaming
  • Village / City / Town
  • Royal Court Companies

This makes the types of carpet in Persia that you see today so different. On the one hand, they all come from ancient Persia (modern-day Iran), which makes many of them highly desirable.

Benefits of Persian Carpet

Persian and Oriental rugs are simply made with more detail in detail than other modern carpets. They do not provide permanent home benefits, but it can be a lucrative business over time. By giving a large amount of emotion they can enhance the beauty tone of the whole room and remain solitary, a masterpiece that is carefully crafted.

They are made of natural sour dye and fabric both less hot than modern synthetic textile carpets.
