Quality Service Uniqueness Value
Room size Persian Tabriz rug with a classical Gonbad or Gonbardeh design, which refers to the dome shaped design of the oriental carpet. This Persian carpet design is typically found in large oriental carpets and is a specialty of Tabriz rugs, even though it is sometimes found in other types of Persian carpets. It is one of the more modern design and very popular with my clients, who are looking for a durable showpiece Persian rug. Large room sized Nain Persian rug with a very unique design and very traditional Nain carpet colors. Nain rugs are made near and in the city of Isfahan and they come in various types of quality like most other Persian carpets. The Nain rugs that I feature are made of a very high quality and to have over 600 kpsi is not unusual. To begin with, all of my Nain oriental carpets are 6-lah quality and I always look for unique designs like this one. Another very unusual Persian carpet is this octagon Tabriz rug with a silk foundation and a 60 raj quality. Due to my personal passion for rare and unique oriental carpets, I always try to offer rugs that are different from what most other retailers sell in their stores. This Tabriz carpet was actually a twin set, but due to the large size I sold both carpets seperately. Finding octagon shaped Persian rugs is extremely rare and this twin set were the first ones that I have offered so far. Large square pure silk Qom Persian rug with a design featuring many different Oriental carpets. Square oriental rugs are rare and to round pure silk Persian carpets are extremely hard to find and are very valueable. This type of a Qom Persian rug often has over 700 kpsi and it made of the finest pure silk. Many of my clients like to buy the Qom oriental carpets for floors, but are also used for hanging on walls.

Showcase of "Square" Persian Rugs

Dear Visitor,
I have added these pages to my website to show you some of the common designs in Persian rugs.
When we think of Persian rugs, we are typically talking about a rectangular carpet, but there are many other shapes that Persian rugs are made in. One of them is the square shape, which is not as common in Persian carpets, but is none the less part of the Persian rug business and I like to highlight them in this section.
Even though square rugs tend to look similar to the more traditional rectangular Persian carpets as far as the shape is concerned, they are actually much more closely associated with round rugs. This is due to the fact that most square oriental rugs share the same designs as round Persian carpets and tend have large circular pattern. If you look at the samples below, you can see how it appears that the square carpets have round rugs in the center and then just added corners to the outside. This is especially common in the high end Persian rugs like the ones below. The most common square rugs are the more traditional looking rugs with the low quality, heavy pile, and the reds and blues. Since my specialty is in high end Persian rugs that are unusual, I always look for carpets that are different in design or quality. The square rugs that I have picked for this section are all very unique and are all extremely high end Tabriz, Nain, and Qom rugs. If you like more information about each one, just move your mouse over them and hold still, which will allow a message to appear.

Feel free to look around stores and websites and see for yourself just how rare these rugs are.
