From the very beginning, rugs were intended to provide comfort and prosperity, while also reflecting the high status and prestige of their owners. They served as symbols of rulers, represented both secular and religious power, demonstrated the host’s hospitality and signified wealth.
Hand-knotted rugs can adorn your home for many years—even 30 to 40 years—provided a few basic rules are followed. It is therefore important to choose patiently, as the rug will play a major role in defining the atmosphere of your home.
What should you consider when choosing a rug?
- First, determine the ideal size of the rug. It is worth establishing both the minimum and maximum dimensions.
- When placing it in an existing interior, consider whether the rug’s colours and patterns suit the surroundings.
- When the room is still being planned, think about whether the flooring, walls, curtains, furniture materials and colours will harmonise with the rug.
- Decide which material you prefer, such as wool or silk. This is mainly a matter of style and personal taste, although price and possible allergies may also influence the choice.
- When looking for an authentic, high-quality hand-knotted rug, purchase only from a reliable and verifiable source. Choose a specialist retailer where knowledgeable experts can assist you with the selection, advise you on professional cleaning and maintenance, and provide a guarantee or certificate confirming the rug’s authenticity. You may also wish to consider purchasing a non-slip underlay if recommended.
- It can be very helpful to view the shortlisted rugs in your own home, although only a few retailers offer this service. As Persian rugs retain their beauty and quality for many years, take your time when making your choice.
