As manifestations of refined craftsmanship, Persian rugs are designed to withstand the test of time. The
first written mention of Persian rugs dates back almost 2,500 years, when Greek author Xenophon
described
them as precious enough to serve as diplomatic gifts. Perhaps the Persian rug that has caught your eye
is
valued for the rustic roots of the nomadic tribespeople responsible for its weaving. Or maybe you are
drawn
to a rug with more complex color palettes and finer threads, typical of the work of expert village
weavers.
Regardless, chances are there is a rug that will uniquely enhance the elegance of your interior.

Persian Rug Safety
We highly recommend purchasing a non-slip
under
pad for your Persian rug. A rug pad is an easy and inexpensive way to avoid any
destabilizing
slippage, slow down any wear and tear, and protect your handmade Persian rug from moisture and dirt,
while shielding
both your Persian rug and floor from discoloration.
Maintain a Persian rug
Collectors of antique Persian handmade rugs understand that proper care and regular upkeep preserves and
even
appreciates the value of their investment. One way to ensure that your handmade rug ages like a fine
wine and
becomes a family heirloom is to rotate the rug on occasion so that its colors may mature gracefully in
all lighting
conditions. Regular vacuuming (even beating!) of your rug will stop dirt and grime from gradually
grinding away at
its precious pile.
