Every Persian rug speaks a visual dialect — and comparing them side by side reveals something remarkable. 👁️

Just like regional accents in language, different rug-weaving traditions carry their own visual signatures. Same motifs, different interpretations. Same craft, different stories.

Our latest video puts Persian rug designs side by side to show how each region speaks its own visual dialect.

Every rug has a hometown. 🗺️

Next stop in our Where Your Rug Comes From series: Kashan. Smack in the middle of Iran, on the northern edge of the desert, Kashan has been a royal weaving city since the Safavids — and its rugs are the ones you'll recognize from museum walls.

A classic ornate Shah Abbas medallion anchoring a densely floral field. Rich reds or deep navy grounds, ivory medallions, navy accents. And the wool — soft kork lambs wool with a quiet sheen that's hard to fake.

We have 40+ in-stock Kashan rugs right now, including the 10'2" × 13'5" navy-ground piece on Slide 4.

The border of a Persian rug isn’t decoration — it’s architecture. 🏛️

Every border tells a story of infinite design logic. These intricate frames contain a visual language of their own — geometric precision, symbolic meaning, and artistic choices that define the rug’s identity as much as the central field.

Our latest video breaks down the hidden logic behind Persian rug borders and why they matter more than you think.
