The History of West Cost Rugs

In all the different types and designs of rugs, Persian rugs are the ones with the most culture and history.


It can be very complicated to speak about the origins and legends of Persian rugs; therefore, a basic lesson can be very helpful. Generally speaking, there are two categories of Persian rugs: traditional and contemporary.

Each and every Persian rug has a story to tell about its origin, heritage, surrounding culture and the people who make it. DSC00754Traditional rugs, often called Tribal, include Gashghai, Lori and Yalameh.

These pieces are woven in villages where the weaver is spontaneously inspired to create details and designs mirroring their own experiences and local legends passed from generation to generation. This results in traditional pieces of work which can speak to us about a different culture through their beauty.
