Spotlight Rug: Sino Persian

Sino Persian rugs are rugs that were made in China.  Many rugs were made in China in 1980 after the Iranian Revolution.  Fewer rugs were being exported into the United States, so it allowed for China's oriental rug industry to flourish.  Currently, however, fewer rugs are being made in China due to a higher labor cost, therefore the value of the rugs has increased.  Main Street Oriental Rugs has just received this new 8x10 Sino Persian rug.  It is a copy of a Persian Tabriz Design with a silk accent.


Sino Persian rugs are made not only with wool, but also with silk.  This adds to their value and beauty.  They have highly intricate and detailed patterns due to a tightly woven knot, and generally feature floral designs. (Source: http://www.orientalpersianrug.com/sino_persian_oriental_rugs.html)
