Persian Carpets: World renowned for quality and beauty Persian carpets are known worldwide for their unsurpassed quality and beauty. Real Persian carpets are elaborately handcrafted, with the wool often dyed with natural plant dyes. Complex patterns in floral and geometric shapes are characteristic of Persian carpets. The most famous regions of origin for carpets are: Grandmother (North Wales), Sarough, Tabriz, Isfahan, Kashan, Bijar and Qom. Pile made of pure new wool: a touch of comfort A carpet made of pure new wool gives every room a cozy atmosphere. The virgin wool itself feels pleasantly soft and helps to dampen sound and regulate indoor humidity. Thanks to these properties, the feeling of well-being in rooms with a carpet made of pure new wool increases noticeably. Chain made of high-quality cotton: the stable basis Cotton is the ideal choice for the warp, the base fabric of a hand-knotted rug. It is durable and can be spun finely and tightly at the same time. Hand-knotted masterpieces: art and patience Hand-knotted carpets are true works of art and require excellent training and a high degree of patience. Hand-knotting creates carpets that are significantly finer, smoother and of the highest quality than those made using other methods.
