How can you tell if a Persian carpet is of good quality?
A traditional Persian rug is handwoven on a loom, and one of the most important features to look out for is the knot count. A quality rug will have at least 120 knots per square inch (6sqcm). To appear a carpet connoisseur in front of the seller, flip the rug over and look at the knots from the underside.
Which Persian carpets are the best?
The city rugs are known to be the highest in quality. The city rug weavers in Iran are known as ‘master weavers’ and some of them even sign their work, like a piece of art. Simply put, the city weavers are mostly men and this is their full-time career and income.
Should you vacuum a Persian rug?
You are highly recommended to sweep and vacuum the underside as well as the top of your Oriental carpet to effectively dislodge all of the embedded dirt. Sand and dirt are responsible for causing the wear and tear of the fibers in your carpets and rugs. So make sure you do that at least once or twice a year.
