The Persian rugs we have brought together here were all made by hand, with hand-spun wool dyed using natural pigments, in the cities and villages of Iran. Many are more than a hundred years old. Each one is unique, and there is no second piece the same as the one beside it. In the collection you will find types such as Heriz, Serapi, Kerman, Tabriz and Kashan, each chosen for its origin, its age and the quality of the work.

The main types of Persian rug
Heriz
From north-west Iran, these almost always carry a large geometric medallion at the centre, with the full-bodied wool typical of the mountain region. They are hard-wearing rugs that take everyday use well. The finest version of the Heriz is the Serapi, and it is the Serapi that represents this family in the collection right now. Heriz guide
Kerman
From southern Iran, Kermans are known for their detailed floral designs and a softer palette. The weave is fine enough to allow detail close to that of a painting. The Kerman Lavar are the finest the city produced. Kerman guide
Serapi
The Serapi is the finer Heriz, with a more open design and slightly lighter colours. Over time it became the most sought-after rug of north-western Persia among collectors. Serapi guide
Kashan
From central Iran, Kashan has one of the oldest weaving traditions in the country. The Kashan Mohtasham, from the late nineteenth century, are prized for their fineness, and examples in silk still turn up. Kashan guide
Tabriz
Tabriz was always a great textile centre of north-western Persia, and produced everything, from classic medallion pieces to the work of the master Hadji Jallili. It tends to be a good starting point for anyone beginning to collect. Tabriz guide
