The art of rug weaving is a cultural tradition in Iran, dating back to ancient Persia roughly the first century BC. The unique patterns and delicate harmonies of design and colour are evidence of the rich tradition, and Persian rugs are also prized for their exquisite technique. Fine handmade rugs have a timeless appeal which transcends the whims of fashion, and are one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly flooring options available. Each unique design represents the artistic vision and human hand of the maker, with imperfections and spontaneous variations bringing personality and imagination to each piece. A handmade rug is perfect for families with children and pets due to their durability, easy care nature and superior anti-allergenic qualities.
