Persian New Year

On March 20th we celebrated Nowruz also known as the Persian New Year!

Persian New Year
The Persian New Year Is Also Known As Nowruz.

Persian New Year marks the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The exact time of when the sun crosses the celestial equator which is the time that day and night equalize is calculated and traditionally, families gather together to observe the traditions.

To celebrate the holiday people often prepare by cleaning their homes, buying flowers such as tulips and hyacinth. On the day, families and friends gather with traditional foods and prepare a haft-sin table.

The Haft-sin table is set with specific items that family members gather around for the equinox. The traditional items that are set are wheat, wheat germ pudding, oleaster, vinegar, apple, garlic, and sumac. Other items that traditionally accompany haft-sin are a mirror, candles, painted eggs, and traditional Persian confections.

We hope that everyone enjoyed the New Year and got to celebrate with family and friends!

Think about sitting down to draw for an hour, imagine the dedication and intricate details that are taken with a design that has taken almost 12,000 hours!

Later this month we will be telling the story of this rug. Providing a greater look into what theme can represent and the joy and peace that it can bring into your home.

And how it has been so beautifully incorporated into this modern living room. The color contrast of the warm and cool tones creates a dynamic and inviting space that is well balanced.

The other rug is a Kashan 11’ x 15’5”, which has also found its home with Edward. Take a look at this lovely 100% wool rug with cotton foundation. The perfect combination for a living room.

The rug compliments the contemporary look flawlessly, emphasizing the luxurious feeling of the room. See how it looks here.

These beautiful pieces have found their new home thanks to Edward P. a collector who was drawn to the artistic craftsmanship of the weavers.

We asked Edward how he selects a rug and what tips he has for others who are interested in buying a rug or becoming collectors and his advice was –

“I want a rug that is artistic, durable and reflects the craftmanship of the weaver. I want something that stands out in terms of color, complexity and design. It has to be a rug that gets your attention. I don’t want a rug that is only black and red. Color is very important. That’s why I look for a true Persian rug. You see the quality, the workmanship. The artistic design is there whether it’s a Sarouk or a Heriz. The style reflects the preferences of the area where it was woven. Each rug has it’s own personality.”
