Persian rug
Knotted floor covering
A Persian rug is a handwoven carpet originating from Iran (historically Persia), prized for intricate patterns, rich colors, and craftsmanship that can take years to complete.
These rugs feature traditional designs including floral motifs, medallions, and geometric patterns, often with deep reds, blues, and golds.
Persian rugs function both as floor coverings and as valuable decorative art, with antique examples fetching high prices at auction.
The Persian rug in the study was her grandmother's most treasured possession.
