Persian rugs
Ornate woven textiles
Persian rugs are handwoven carpets from Iran (historically Persia), prized for their intricate patterns, rich colors, and craftsmanship.
The term often implies high quality and traditional artistry: The living room featured an antique Persian rug.
Persian rugs vary by region—Tabriz, Isfahan, Kerman—each with distinctive designs.
The phrase sometimes extends loosely to any ornate Oriental carpet.
