Persian Rugs

Persian rugs are both beautiful and sought after, however many people and collectors of fine persian rugs are not able to find the selection that are looking for in their local area. This is due to the small number of quality persian rugs like the famous Bijar (or Bidjar) rug or the fantastic persian tribal rug like the Gabbeh. If you can't find rugs locally, you have the option of purchasing these rugs online. The issue in this case is getting a good feel for the rug you are viewing on your computer. You are purchasing this rug for your home and you want to get a good visual representation with multiple views as well as get quality information about the style of persian rug ( Bijar, Trabriz, Heriz, etc) and it's details. You should come away from your experience understanding the rug you are buying, as well as a good idea of how beautiful the persian rug will look in your home or business.

If you are looking to buy a hand made persian rug you have excellent taste. Many of you purchasing or have purchased fine original persian rugs in the past may already understand some of the things we would like to point out to first time buyers.

You must understand that persian art centers around their carpet weaving techniques found within authentic persian rugs and persian carpets. Many of the rugs found within our site were originally made for personal use by iranian nomadic tribes. The Gabbeh rug for example is called the new iron rug of iran because the copper deposits in the wool the sheep feed from is known the strengthen the wool. The tribal art on this rug may be simple or may depict a scene. This is a very strong rug but the most impressive persian rug if you would like a more sophisticated look is the Bijar rug. Bijars are the real iron rug of Iran. Unfortunately their production has been reduced in recent years due to instability and therefore the collection you see within http://www.persianbijar.com is one of the largest collections available on the internet of Bijar rugs and other fine persian rugs.
