Persian Rugs and Carpets in Sydney

Persian Rugs in SydneyEvery rug in this collection was hand knotted in Iran. A Persian rug is made one knot at a time on a loom, usually from hand-spun wool and sometimes silk, and a room-size piece can take a weaver many months. That is why no two are alike, and why a well-made Persian rug can last for generations.Sarabi’s Fine Rugs is a family-owned business with over 40 years of experience in handmade rugs.

The price of a Persian rug depends mostly on its size, how finely it is knotted, its age and its materials, so two rugs of the same size can be very different in value. We can explain exactly what you are paying for.How to choose a Persian rugStart with size. In a living room, a rug large enough for the front legs of the sofa and chairs to sit on it pulls the room together. In a dining room, allow room for the chairs to slide back without leaving the rug. Then think about colour: a Persian rug often sets the palette for the whole room, so many clients choose the rug first and the cushions and art after. Wool is soft, resilient and easy to live with, while silk adds sheen and fine detail.Caring for your Persian rugVacuum regularly without a beater bar, turn the rug every six months so it wears evenly, and have it professionally washed every few years. We offer rug cleaning and repairs, with pickup and delivery available depending on your location.Common questionsWhat is the difference between a Persian rug and an oriental rug?A Persian rug is woven in Iran. “Oriental rug” is a broader term for handmade rugs from a wider region, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Turkey.
