Antique Persian Rug
Antique Persian
Antique Persian rugs are cherished for their intricate craftsmanship, rich history, and stunning visual appeal. Dating from the 19th century or earlier, these rugs often feature traditional designs and patterns that are unique to various regions of Persia (modern-day Iran).
Most antique Persian rugs are made from natural fibres such as wool, silk, or cotton. Wool rugs are durable and soft, while silk rugs are often more delicate and have a luxurious sheen.
Persian rugs are known for their intricate designs, which can include floral motifs, geometric patterns, medallions, and pictorial scenes. Different regions, like Tabriz, Isfahan, or Kashan, have their own signature styles.
Antique Persian rugs typically feature a rich colour palette, often with deep reds, blues, golds, and greens. The dyes used are usually natural and can create a beautiful patina over time.
Persian rugs are traditionally hand-knotted, with the quality of knotting often determining the rug’s value. The most common knot used is the Persian (or Senneh) knot, which creates a denser and more durable rug.
A rug’s age significantly influences its value. Genuine antique Persian rugs are generally considered to be those that are over 100 years old. Condition is also crucial; well-preserved rugs with minimal wear are more valuable.
Regular vacuuming can help maintain the rug’s condition. For deeper cleaning, it’s often best to consult a professional specializing in antique rugs, as improper cleaning can lead to damage.
