Read our buying guide: how to choose a handmade Persian carpet

Every carpet on this page is hand-knotted, which means a weaver tied each knot individually around the warp threads. That is why the pattern is visible on the reverse side and why no two pieces are identical. Machine-made rugs cannot do this, and it is the first thing we show visitors at the showroom.

The name of the weaving city tells you what to expect. A Qum carpet is known for pure silk with very fine knotting, often 600 knots per square inch and above, which gives a Qum silk carpet its luminous surface and crisp detail. A Tabriz carpet has wool pile on a silk or cotton foundation, prized for medallion and hunting designs that suit large majlis and living rooms. An Isfahan carpet or a Nain carpet uses fine wool with silk highlights in ivory and blue palettes. A Kashan carpet is the classic red-and-navy floral design. Looked after properly, any of them becomes one of the heirloom Persian carpets a family passes on. Afghan pieces, woven by Turkmen and Baluch families, are heavier, warmer in colour and priced more accessibly.

Whether you call it a Persian rug or a Persian carpet, an Iranian carpet or Iranian rugs, a handmade Persian rug or a hand knotted Persian rug, a Persian silk carpet or a silk Persian rug, a Qom silk rug or a Qum carpet, the test is the same: turn it over and look at the knots.

Each carpet leaves the showroom with a written certificate stating its origin, materials and knot density. What you see here is a selection. Our Persian carpet shop in Sharjah's Blue Souk holds over 500 pieces. If you searched for a Persian carpet near me, a Persian rug near me or a Persian rug shop from Dubai, we will collect you from your Dubai hotel at no charge; from anywhere else in the UAE, buy Persian carpets on WhatsApp and we deliver free.
