There is considerable variety among those Persian antique rugs that most clearly depict the culture and art of Persia.
The central visual themes on these persian rugs include medallions, palmettos and geometric designs, and barely any pictures of humans or animals.

Despite this fact there are a few antique rugs that display hunting and feasting scenes that are a delight to the eyes. Modern designs feature every type of depiction under the sun.
Another significant feature of Persian Antique rugs is that they are hand-knotted, and that most of them are made of wool and silk. The production of Persian antique rugs was historically prominent in places such as Tabriz, Kashan, Herat and Kerman. Each of these places was known for a distinct pattern and design that set it apart from the rest.
Each of these antique rugs is a masterpiece that showcases the creative skills of the weavers of olden times. The fact that they seldom use artificial means of making the rugs make them the prized art pieces they are today. The soothing colors and the beautiful designs and patterns are irresistible, and have encouraged millions of people around the world to invest money in buying Persian antique rugs.
These antique rugs are original and unique pieces of art that are products of individual creativity, and also narrate the story of a past that comes alive through the depictions on these rugs.
