How Do I Purchase Good Quality Persian Rugs?

I'm after a good quality Persian rug for my home office for the winter. I have no idea what to look for to determine the quality. Also how much does a good quality hand made rug approximately 1m x1.5m usually cost? Any good places to go to to find deals?

  • Always wondered this myself.

    All I have ever seen is the rug advertising scam 50, 70, 80, 90% off sales garbage making it hard to know the real price/value.

      90% off is a good deal, why aren't they ever submitted here.

    Good quality Persian rugs doesn't mean much, as they come in too many different types and price ranges, mostly depending on the place of origin, material used (wool, silk, mixed), and the density of the knots. Also a rug signed by a master craftsmen is generally more valuable.
    You can check the European market for a price guide/comparison.

    Don’t you just go to the town hall at the the appropriate time of year?…
    I’ll show myself out.

  • So I was looking at a Persian Rug at Ikea.

    They have it for $699. Would you say this is like the standard price for this size and design?

    Be warned magical flying ones are pretty useless at the moment as most airports won’t allow them due to lockdowns.

    Having said that I have seen them on sale for less than 3 pieces of gold. (On Alibaba).

    That’s cheap.

    So, I suppose it’s a good time to buy.
