First Oriental Rugs maintains a world class collection of antique, decorative and contemporary Persian rugs from Iran, Romania, India, Egypt and Tibet.

When it comes to select a Persian rug for your dining room then no doubt it is not as same as selecting a rug for any other room or place in the house. Antique Persian rugs can be well considered for the dining room use because their knot count is larger that makes them durable for dining room use. Knot count is larger in Persian rugs due to the intensity of their designs. More designing elements on the rug need more knots for detailed designs. Even if you like a rug with not a dense design, even then you must ask the dealer about the knot count as well as the fiber content.
