Persian rugs are the foundation of most serious collections, and they are the heart of what Eliko does. Woven across the cities, villages and tribal regions of what is now Iran, the Persian rug tradition is the deepest and most varied in the world, running from the finely drawn court designs of Tabriz and Kashan to the bold village geometry of Heriz and the soft, large-scale patterns of Sultanabad.
Our Persian collection spans antique pieces over a hundred years old, decorative vintage rugs and a full range of sizes and prices. Each is judged on origin, age, weave, wool, dyes and condition before it reaches you, and every piece is one of a kind.
Persian rugs are named for where they were made, and each centre has its own signature. Tabriz is precise and versatile; Heriz and Serapi are bold and hard-wearing; Sultanabad and Mahal are large-scale and decorative; Kashan, Sarouk and Kerman are classic and floral; Bidjar is the most durable of all; and tribal weaves like Gabbeh and Bakhtiari bring a folk-art character. Use the links to explore each.
Antique Persian rugs are over a hundred years old, made with hand-spun wool and natural dyes, and carry the patina collectors prize. Vintage pieces are younger, give a similar look at a friendlier price, and are often found in larger, more usable sizes. Both are hand-knotted and one of a kind.
