Do you have a real passion for rugs? Do you wish to educate yourself on different rugs, more particularly oriental rugs such as the Persian ones? If you are like many people, learning about rugs is one of the best past time as you get to sample the best of rugs from across the world. However, it can be a very daunting task having to learn about Persian rugs without proper guidance and without any background knowledge on the same. 

For starters, you can consider taking advantage of reliable online forums and read posts from other lovers of rugs. Basically, what you will be looking for in Persian rugs, and any other rug for that matter is attribution and authenticity. There are key points to keep in mind in regards to such kind of education when conducted online.

1. First and foremost, the images you will find in a search engine such as Google or Yahoo are great. However, the search engines operate on numerous different levels gathering information and data in such a way that cannot bring up the proper image of a Persian rug that you are looking for 100% of the time. Ensure you double check the images match the words that you have keyed in. While this is the safest you could do, it all boils down to the reputation of the website providing such info as well as how the search engines indexes such.

2. The second most important thing is to be wary of the keyword hound available online. There are very many sellers who take advantage of using multiple names to manipulate the search engines. As such, because they know people love Persian rugs, they will use different names including common misspellings to lead you to their website which has other rugs but Persian ones. Be very wise and learn how to identify and authenticate Persian rugs so you cannot be cheated into buying something just because it bears the name Persian rug.

But when all is said and done, the best way to learn about Persian rugs, and any other rugs for that matter, is to see as many as you could personally. Visit your local rug store, buy new or second-hand books and educate yourself how to tell real from fake Persian rugs, and you will make a safe and informed decision.

There are many good books written about the subject, and a lot of useful material on the web. However, experience in this field comes from seeing many many rugs over the years, and local rug stores are the best option available to those who are eager to learn about this industry. Thank you for the post.
