How can I tell if my Persian carpet is real?
1 Answer
There are a few ways to tell if a Persian carpet is real. A real Persian rug will always have a soft backing with hand-knots instead of machine-made knots. The fringe will also appear to be an extension of the rug, not an addition to the rug. Lastly, Persian rugs are always made with natural materials, not synthetic fibers.
