Persis Rugs Gallery

Persia seen as the spiritual, if not actual, home of rug making and its name has become synonymous with the finest and most outstanding achievements in oriental textile art. Much of this is due to the magnificent Court carpets of the 16th and 17th centuries which grace Western museums, and the 18th and 19th century masterpieces to be found in royal palaces and stately homes throughout the world.

Our hand-washing techniques are custom tailored to the specific needs of each rug. Rug Cleaning techniques and solutions are formulated depending on structure, type of material, soiling, fragility, and dye type. After complete removal of sandy grit and particulate matter, most rugs are hand washed in water-based solutions; all rugs are thoroughly rinsed to remove all dirt, soap, or chemical residue.

Whatever the reason maybe, our experts will tell you the entire general and technical details about your rugs. We will research your item and provide a full description and submit the current value over our signature. We are not common merchants merely putting our opinion on a letterhead. Therefore you can use our appraisals for any legal proceeding you may encounter.

It's one of the ironies of owning a fine handmade rug. It takes an experienced artisan hundreds of hours to create a beautiful hand knotted rug. Even the casual observer can clearly tell it's a work of art. Yet the minute you place it on the floor it's destined for a lifetime of wear and tear. But we don't expect you to stop walking on your rug, after all, that's what they were made for.
