Persian Rug

Persian rug is divided into two categories: hand-woven and machine-made. Both types of rugs have their own characteristics and advantages.

Handmade Persian Rug

Because of their beauty and high quality, handwoven Persian rugs are often recognized as works of art. This type of rug is woven by hands and figures of weavers.

Using the hand as the main tool in the weaving of the hand-woven Persian rug leads to a hand-woven and beautiful texture. In other words, the weaving of the handwoven rug is done completely by hand without the intervention of machines.

One of the distinctive features of handmade Persian rugs is the high precision and skill of the weavers. Handwoven rug artists weave beautiful designs on the fabric by hand using traditional tools such as hooks and threads.

Handwoven Persian rugs have a high price due to the high precision and patience of the weavers. Also, the production time of this type of rug is very long and it may take several months.

Machine-Made Persian Rug

Machine-made Persian rugs are produced using industrial machinery. In this type of rug, the fabrics are woven automatically using machines. Machine rug weaving is done quickly and with high quality.

One of the distinctive features of machine- made rug is their high production speed. Due to the use of industrial machinery, the production of machine-made rugs is much faster than handmade rugs. Also, due to the use of industrial machinery, the price of a machine-made Persian rug is lower than that of a hand-woven rug.

Conclusion

Both hand-woven and machine-made Persian rugs have their own characteristics. Hand-woven Persian rugs are of the highest quality and last longer due to the high precision and skill of the weavers. Sometimes they can last over 100 years. But due to the high price and longer production time, they are not widely produced. On the other hand, machine-made Persian rugs are much more popular due to the speed of production, lower price, durability and variety of designs.
