Artful & Elegant Persian Rugs and Decor Accents

PERSIAN RUGS 

As long-time Persian rug aficionados, we are proud to offer a selection of exquisite antique, semi-antique, and vintage Persian, Turkish, Afghan, and Caucasian rugs, sourced from Rug the Rock, a Canadian-based supplier with Persian roots. We have handpicked our favorites from their extensive collection to showcase here at Susan Dorling Designs. 

This unique collection, carefully curated by these experts in the artistry of Persian rugs, ensures that each rug is truly unique and authentic. From the intricate hand-knotting and weaving techniques to the use of natural materials and traditional vegetable dyes, these fine rugs are meticulously handwoven with unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail. 

These works of art are handwoven from hand-spun wool; one rug can take months, even years, for a master weaver to complete. Our supplier purchases directly from a cooperative, not a distributor, ensuring the weavers are fairly paid.

Persian rugs fill your space with warmth, character, and history, and are a sustainable way to decorate your home, reducing the demand for new resources and minimizing environmental impact.

And for every rug you buy, one tree is planted in diverse and ecologically vital regions, including Canada, Argentina, the Andes, and the Amazon Rainforest.
