It is fortunate that the traditions were not lost because Persian rugs are now amongst the most popular forms of furnishings in today’s homes and they can be found in everything from manor houses to contemporary flats. Modern rugs and runners are often used in conjunction with Persian rugs as they are often very good at complementing one another in terms of size and style.
