Persian Rugs
Persian rugs are known to be the most beautiful hand-knotted rugs to ever be made. Their classic, elegant designs usually feature flowers, birds and leaves in a variety of gorgeous, soft and blended colours. Some, although rare, also bare an animal combat scene as their primary design.
Some of the most exquisite looking and feeling rugs come from Iran- this is due to a lot of religions using them for their prayers. These religions being found in Tabriz, Nain, Isfahan, Herez and Bidjar, to name a few regions. All of these regions of Iran produce these exceptional quality hand-knotted rugs, and each design that is featured on them is an indicator of what region the rug was made in.
Persian Rugs are usually made by using the finest of wool and silk; however, sometimes, you may even come across a Persian Rug that is made out of 100% silk. Silk is such a luxurious fabric, and as you may already know, it’s a fibre that comes with special care instructions. If your Persian Rug is made with a silk pile on silk foundations, it may even be signed by the weaver who created the rug.
On a serious note, a Persian Rug can also come with it’s conditions some simply are characteristics of being hand made some conditions due to wear and useage. It is common for a Persian Rug to experience conditions such as Abrash, White Knots, Bleeding, Wear, Fringe Damage, Pile Reversal and Moth Damage, and so we have to take special precautions so that your rug is restored. This is where our Restoration Service comes into play; on arrival to Arcadia Rug Spa, your Persian Rug will be inspected for all of the previous damages, and if it’s condition is viable for our services, you won’t need to lose hope on getting it looking fresh again!
As previously mentioned, rugs that are made out of silk and similar high-quality materials, such as the Persian Rug have specific care requirements. Not only do we recommend that you rotate them regularly, block the sunlight from shining onto them and rotate them (how often is dependent on how often you use the rug), but we also recommend that you ensure that your Persian Rug is cleaned professionally.
