Story Behind the Art: Indo-Persian rugs represent a remarkable fusion of Persian artistic heritage and Indian weaving mastery, forming a rich cultural bridge between two historic civilizations. This tradition emerged in the 16th century during the Mughal Empire, when Emperor Akbar invited renowned Persian weavers to India to establish royal carpet workshops. These rugs are hand-knotted using the Persian (asymmetrical) knot and typically feature a wool or silk pile woven over a durable cotton foundation. A defining characteristic of Indo-Persian rugs is their adaptability in color and texture; they often display warmer, more expressive palettes compared to Iranian counterparts. Many examples incorporate premium New Zealand wool, valued for its softness, resilience, and plush handle. The result is a luxury handmade rug that blends classical Persian design language with Indian craftsmanship, making Indo-Persian rugs highly desirable for both traditional and contemporary living spaces.
