Persian

This is the region that originated the "oriental rug." The finest most talented weavers have a 
long tradition of knotting the rugs that all others are judged by. Persian rugs can be found in museums all over the world. Rugs are generally named after the village, town, or district where they are the hallmark of the industry.  

Heriz

These rugs are usually woven in small workshops or on family owned looms. They have bright cheerful colors with a more folksy casual geometric look to them.

Gabbeh

Starting out as a village made rug, gabbehs have become a popular contemporary style featuring geometric designs, bright colors and lush pile.

Traditional Persian

Tabrizes (Mahi or Nagsheh) are one of the finest hand knotted rug available. It is a more formal design and the rug's beauty comes from finely knotted wool and silk construction and across the age classic design. Increasingly difficult to find, they have become more and more a collector's piece.
