• History of Persian Carpets

• Persian carpets are the products of a 2,500-year-old legacy. From humble beginnings as covers for dirt floors in nomadic tents to their current status as regal furnishings for palaces of the wealthy and powerful, the Persian carpet has undergone changes in function and design, but the basic allure of an exquisitely hand-woven carpet has kept it a cherished product of one of the most traditional crafts in the world.

• How to choose the best outdoor Persian carpet

• There are several factors to choosing the right outdoor Persian carpet. First you should make sure the carpet is a genuine hand-made Persian one and not an imitation from another country. Also make sure that the size is right, that it has a high enough knot count to ensure quality, and that the carpet comes with a certificate of authenticity.

• Persian Carpet Types

• There are three basic types of handmade Persian carpets, corresponding to where they are made. City carpets are regarded as having the highest quality, with high knot counts and curved, flowery patterns. Village carpets are of medium quality in terms of knot count, and combine curves and straight lines in their design, while tribal carpets have the lowest knot count of the three and feature mainly straight lines and geometric patterns.
