When searching for persian rugs you need to be aware that the finest persian rugs you ban purchase are bijar rugs. Their are several other fine examples of quality persian rugs some of my favorites are hariz, tabriz, and the gabbeh rug. I think that if you want something that you can pass down to your family and loved ones and that you enjoy yourself for years to come their is no better rug then the persian rugs. You will want this type of rug due to it intricate way of being made, as a handmade rug it is typical known as the finest. Particularly due to the fine wool used from Iran that is considered a stronger wool then what is found in other regions. Another reason is the art of rug making was something that originated in this region with the tribes in the area. This was the only thing they were able to make for trade and goods and so it was important as competition grew to making finer and finer oriental rugs like bijar rugs and tabrz.
