Green Rugs - Authentic Oriental Rugs

Now that we have the new floor, it had been urgent for me to search green rugs to match the floor, because it was really cold in winter morning when I stepped down from my warm goose down bed.

At last not long after New Year 2010, I went to Polaris and shop at a local store Azia Oriental Rugs, which has been specializing in Persian, Chinese, Indian, and more oriental rugs for over 45 years. In particular, Sonia, the owner's daughter and the Oriental Rug Specialist, had been quite helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. We ended up having two room size handmade Persian rugs from Azia, one is 9x11-9, and the other is 8x10.

Interesting enough, both rugs are of Kerman Persian Rugs. Persia used to be a huge empire, and had its unique culture and art. Nowadays, Iran is the name for the Persian country. Persian carpets are the finest in the world and the carpet dealers have developed a classification for Persian carpets based on design, type of fabric, and weaving technique. The categories are named for cities and areas associated with each design, and Kerman rug is one of the popular designs.

Why is the Persian rug green?

• made of natural fiber - wool and cotton
• hand-knotting or hand-weaving (handmade)
• dyed in natural plant-based dye
• last longer and appreciate over time
