101 Persian Rugs
These are the finest among Oriental rugs and are made of silk, cotton or wool. The warp is mostly cotton, with a short, close, velvet-like pile of silk or wool. Colours are very soft and lustrous, in designs of floral and animal patterns. Usually oblong shape. There are no undecorated spaces of plain colour. The borders are characteristic Persian ornament and the Herati design is a favourite centre motif as well as the " Pear." The use of a cotton warp is distinctive, since nearly all other Eastern rugs have wool (see Rug Designs) -
