Chicago Persian Rug

Persian style rugs are named after the small cottage villages that these designs originated from in Iran. Henceforth, when you look at a map of Iran and see the names of the villages, you will see the names of styles of rugs that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Iran exports carpets to more than 100 countries, as hand-woven rugs are one of its main non-oil export items.
