RUGS
 Persian rugs are hand-knotted. Many elements contribute
to the making of the world’s best rug: craftsmen, artistry,
religion, tradition and the perfect sheep! It takes Persian
(Iranian) craftsmen & women generations to develop and
pass down their intricate artistry to their apprentices and
offspring. It takes months, sometimes years, to create a single
Persian rug. Over the centuries Persian rugs have been admired
for their very high quality. Hence, 90% of its value is labour
and only 10% is material. Even Persian sheep contribute their
unique wool that is both resilient and consistent. Once knotted
in the rug, Persian wool does not absorb stains and it bounces
back if pressed down over an extended period.
 The Persian wool has a unique quality of flexibility because
of the special race of Persian sheep. This wool does not lose
the natural dye over the time even with multiple cleaning processes.
The knots are tighter and resistant. The value of Persian Rug
increases with more use because its colour becomes brighter
and the rug becomes softer. Since it’s hand made, Persian
rugs are one of the best investments. You can find many individual
rugs due to such variety in design and colour.
