FAQ's

A Persian rug is more than décor—it’s a piece of art. Hand-knotted using centuries-old techniques, these rugs are known for their intricate patterns, rich natural dyes, and exceptional materials. No two are ever exactly alike, which is part of their beauty and value.

They can be. Fine Persian rugs are crafted to last for generations, and many increase in value over time. When chosen thoughtfully and cared for properly, a high-quality rug becomes both a functional heirloom and a long-term investment.

The details tell the story. Hand-knotted rugs have subtle variations in their knots, patterns, and colors—signs of true craftsmanship. When you turn a handmade rug over, you’ll see the design clearly woven into the back, not printed or glued.

The finest Persian rugs are made from premium wool, silk, or a blend of both. Natural dyes sourced from plants and minerals create depth, softness, and color that only improves with age.

Depending on size and complexity, a single rug can take months—or even years—to complete. Thousands, sometimes millions, of individual knots are tied by hand, making each rug a true labor of love.

Start with how you live. Room size, furniture placement, foot traffic, and lighting all matter. A knowledgeable rug specialist can help guide you toward the right size, palette, and design to complement your space beautifully.

Absolutely. High-quality wool Persian rugs are naturally resilient and perform exceptionally well in living rooms, hallways, and other high-traffic areas. They’re designed to be lived on, not just admired.

Simple care goes a long way. Gentle vacuuming, rotating the rug periodically, and addressing spills quickly help preserve its beauty. Professional cleaning every few years keeps the fibers healthy and the colors vibrant.

Authentic Persian rugs made with natural dyes age gracefully. Rather than fading, they develop a soft patina that many collectors find even more desirable. Proper placement away from prolonged direct sunlight helps maintain their richness.

Yes—and very successfully. Expert restoration can address wear, fraying, or damage while preserving the rug’s integrity. When done correctly, repairs are nearly invisible and extend the life of the rug for decades.

Each rug tells a different story. Price is influenced by factors such as origin, age, materials, knot density, size, and overall condition. Rare designs, silk rugs, and antiques naturally command higher values.

Both have their place. Antique rugs offer history and character, while new rugs provide pristine condition and flexibility in color and size. The “better” choice depends on your personal style and how the rug will be used.

In living spaces, rugs typically extend under the front legs of furniture to create cohesion. Dining room rugs should be large enough so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out—comfort and proportion matter.

Photos can’t capture texture, depth, or true color. Visiting a rug gallery allows you to feel the materials, compare craftsmanship, and experience how different rugs interact with light—an essential step for a confident purchase.
