Persian Carpet
Ever since Solomon made the journey to Media in northern Persia on his magical green silk carpet or Sheherezade beguiled her Sultan with the tale of Prince Husain, the Persian carpet has been regarded as a symbol of romance and beauty.

Persian Carpet: a timeless tradition of skill and excellence

Each Persian carpet is a riot of shimmering colours and intricate symbols, brought to life by the carpet maker’s skill. Master craftsmen take countless hours to complete each rug using traditional skills that have been passed down through many generations. Hand knotted rugs have been popular for thousands of years. The oldest example of a Persian carpet is probably the Pazyryk rug which dates from the 5th century BC, while the 90ft sq ‘Springtime of Khosro’ carpet made in the 6th century AD was said to have been the most precious Persian carpet of all time before it was cut into pieces and sold by Arab conquerors. Just like these ancient rugs, the modern Persian carpets you can see at www.akorug.ch are all truly original and unique and you can choose the size and style that best suits your home. Every rug at Akorug is made from superior grade wool or silk, and opulent jewel colours and fabulous patterns enhance their splendour and luxury.
