Antique Persian Rugs
Persia has a reputation for producing the highest quality and most beautiful rugs in the entire world. And they have been doing this for hundreds of years. The traditional designs have the name of the tribal region where they were made. Antique Persian rugs can be divided into two main categories, city rugs which are known for their finely woven, intricate designs and village rugs which vary greatly in their blends of city and nomadic motifs. Most city rugs present a central motif or medallion. However, some adopt a design of repetitive floral icons. Antique Persian Rugs are easily identified by their geometric patterns and intricate floral patterns. The fields are lavishly covered with intricate designs of buds and blossoms supported by vines and tendril and frequently encircled by interlacing arabesques. Their most distinctive colors are reds, dark blues and greens arranged so that the colors of border and field generally contrast, yet remain in near perfect harmony.
