Persianrugplanet Reviews 4

I don't know how these guys can sell at these prices! I was skeptical about the quality or about the rugs being copies, but THEY ARE THE REAL THING! Top top top quality at 1/3 of prices I could get locally!

I bought a rug from them and it was in Malta in no time! Their prices seem "low", but rest assured their quality is as good as it gets! Highly recommended!

Got 2 rugs from them about 3 months ago. Their photos are supposed to be from the actual rugs they are selling, but I asked for additional photos which they happily provided. Shipping was free and fast (by UPS, took 4 days until I had my rugs)

If you have ever been interested in the history of textiles and fabrics, then this is something that would please you and would serve as your cynosure. Oriental rugs are something that we can’t get our mind off. We go crazy to have one of them in our houses as a piece of adornment. And it is indeed pleasing to know that these oriental rugs have a trailing history that is delicious in its ambiguity. The oriental rugs owe their beauty and elegance mainly to Persian art and culture. Persian rugs have a stylistic uniformity which is noticeable in oriental rugs as well. Hence, in most of the cases, we take it for granted that an oriental rug will be something like a Persian rug.

To get a hint of the elegance that an oriental rug carries with itself, one must visit museums that exhibit rugs that can be dated back to the sixteenth or seventeenth century. There is an interesting community- myth behind the inflow of Persian rugs into India, a tropical country with an overall warm climate. It happened so during the Mughal regime, that Akbar who was a connoisseur of art in all forms, had artists and weavers from Persia to represent Safavid art in India. Their workshops were in Fatehpur Sikri and in Agra.

Now, persian rugs are considered as classy and are in high demand all around the world. There are certain marked features that one would come across in a Persian rug. The uniformity in the stylistic pattern of an oriental rug is achieved by means of intricate embroidery. There is a stark use of the golden thread. Floral patterns are a prevalent feature in oriental rugs while geometric shapes aren’t that widely used. The material could however be coarse or very fine depending upon the desired look. Persian rugs are usually made from cotton, silk, wool and artificial ilk as well. A Persian rug is perhaps the only thing your home needs to be a class- apart.
