In the spotlight this month…
Signature Rugs
There is no mistaking the superior quality of a signature (signed) rug.
These works of art exhibit flawless craftsmanship, superb materials, unique & outstanding design, and incredible color combinations.
Signature Persian rugs come mostly from the weaving regions of Nain, Tabriz, Qum, and Isfahan.
This distinctive symbol of the weaver can be of:
*the workshop where it was made
*the weaver who wove the rug
*year made
*the region of origin
*and in some cases, all the above.
The rug pictured below is a signature rugs, looks good, doesn’t it?

Twin Rugs
What else is happening in February?
Well, there are rare occasions when a master rug-weaver will use one design to make identical rugs, creating both at the same time.
Because sometimes two rugs look better in a room than one.
Especially when placed either side of a bed or living room for beautiful symmetrical interior design.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, then look out for a message showcasing these ‘Persian Twins’ – later this month.
