Pakistani Persian Rugs

Pakistani Rug with Persian Design

Pakistani Persian or ‘Pak Persian’ rugs are, as the name suggests, rugs woven in Pakistan with a Persian design. This type of rug appeared during a time when America would not import any Persian rugs from Iran. This embargo created a gap in the rug market. So, eastern countries, such as India and Pakistan exploited the opportunity and produced many rugs with a Persian appearance. However the quality was somewhat less, but the rugs were generally well constructed and pleasing to the eye. The Pakistani rugs, which are still very commonplace today, have a distinct sheen (when clean) when looking with the lay of the nap. This is as a result of lustre washing after weaving, which smoothes the surface of the wool enabling the light to reflect. They are produced in three grades – A,B and C, with grade A being the superior. The knot count tends to be the same, irrelevant of the grade, but the higher quality rugs have a distinctly sharper, crisper finish to the design. The quality will fluctuate due to the expertise and experience of the weaver. Pak Persian rugs are one of the most common pieces that we wash and repair in our facility today, and continue to be very popular with our customers.

As with all hand knotted and machine made rugs, cleaning should never be attempted in the home using detergent based solutions which could compromise the dyes. Professional cleaning would be recommended to prolong the life and maintain the appearance of these wonderful pieces of floor art.

If you have a machine made rug that would benefit from a spa treatment, then why not give us a call on 01276 423 150 to get a quote and advice.
