The history of brown Persian rugs
Traditional brown Persian rugs, with their signature rich hues and intricate patterns, first appeared over 2,500 years ago. Originating in the heart of Iran, in what was once the Persian empire, these rugs were symbols of status, artistry, and cultural heritage.
Since the first rug was woven, the use of natural dyes, derived from walnut husks, saffron, and onyx, have imparted earthy tones. Patterns and motifs woven in deep chestnut and soft caramel stood the test of time and, as trade routes expanded, found their way into palaces and homes alike, all across the globe.
