The Persian carpet is an essential part of
Persian art and culture. Carpet-weaving
is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian
culture and art, and dates back to the
Ancient Persia (c.3,500 BC). |
 Stop in to see each of
these carpets and others to appreciate their patterns,
textures, and brilliant colors. |

From the yarn fiber to the colors,
every part of the Persian carpet is traditionally hand made from natural
ingredients over the course of many months.

Typically, a traditional Persian
carpet is tied with a single looping knot (Persian or Senneh Knot), while
the traditional Anatolian carpet is tied with a double looping knot (Turkish
or Ghiordes Knot). This means that for every 'vertical strand' of thread in
a carpet, an Anatolian carpet has two loops as opposed to the one loop for
the various Persian carpets that use a Persian 'single' knot. Ultimately,
this process of 'double knotting' in traditional Anatolian carpets results
in a slightly more block like image compared to the traditional 'single
knotted' Persian carpet.
