This is a genuine Arak Persian carpet, which comes from the village of Arak in Iran. It was of course hand knotted from natural sheep's wool. An arak is special in itself because there are not many carpets with its origin. The quality corresponds to that of an excellent Persian carpet.


Persian Rug

This carpet comes from Iran (formerly Persia) and as a Persian rug enjoys probably the highest reputation among all hand-knotted rug types. No other region looks back on such a long tradition in rug making as Iran. Thus, the probably finest and most elaborate rugs originate here. The robustness, durability and quality of the Persian knot are still unsurpassed today. Persian rugs are usually named after their region of origin. For instance, a Nain, a Ghom as well as an Isfahan carpet comes from the city of the same name in Iran.

Handspun wool

This rug is made of hand spun sheep wool of the highest quality. Especially in Iran (former Persia), Afghanistan and Pakistan wool is still spun by hand before the actual knotting of the rug begins. Wool has proven itself as a natural and extremely hard-wearing material over centuries. Among other things, it has dirt-repellent and heat-insulating properties. At the same time, wool is incomparably soft and has a natural shine.

Knotted by hand

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.

Fantastic service

Buying online was a risk, but totally impressed

Buying a £1k rug online was a risk. But I could not have been more impressed by the quality of the rug I bought, exactly as described and expected. So bought another and have recommended to friends

I have bought a dozen of rugs in total for the past two years. I am happy with the goods as well as the price. Great online carpet shop
