Carpet-making in the country now known as Iran has a history and reputation so great, it has been declared an "intangible part of cultural heritage" by the United Nations. There are records of ancient Greek historians and authors describing Persian rugs as luxury goods in famous texts such as Homer's Odyssey. Archaeologists have found Persian rugs at dig sites that date back to the 5th century B.C., and more importantly show some of the traditional hallmarks of Persian rugs that you can enjoy today. Details like deep and symmetrical pile, intricate designs, and vivid colors set Persian rugs apart from other types of Oriental carpets. Iran's rich heritage--its history as a birthplace of world civilization, role in international trade during the Middle Ages, and the influence of multiple religious traditions including Islam and Zoroastrianism--have all combined to make Persian rugs some of the most interesting and desired carpets in the world. If you are interested in buying an authentic Persian rug, but aren't sure how or where to start, contact Rugs By Saga to discuss your home or office's rug needs today. Our staff has decades' worth of combined experience buying and selling rugs to St. Louis residents just like you, and we proudly offer free in-home consultations so that we can properly get to know our customers and what they want in a rug.
What Makes Persian Rugs Different
Most Persian rugs use a distinctive style of knotting that is different than other types of Oriental rug. It is sometimes known as the "Senneh" knot, after a town in Iran known for its importance in rug-making history. Unlike the traditional "Turkish" knot, a Persian knot is only wrapped around one of the warps (the thick cotton threads that run the length of the pile), and passed behind an adjoining warp. This divides the two ends of the yarn between the two warps: traditional knots have both end of the yarn emerge between two warps.
The vast majority of Persian rug designs trace their origins back to the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran in the 1500s. These rulers introduced Shia Islam to Persia, became massive patrons of the arts, and most importantly increased trade between Persia and Europe. Rugs were often important diplomatic gifts, and many of these carpets now hang in museums. While changes in government, mechanization, and the loss of traditional rural connections have threatened the Persian rug industry, in recent times the art of rug making has thrived, with more innovative and modern designs being produced alongside traditional patterns.
