Small Persian Rugs

Here is a secret of the trade: the finest weaving in the world comes in small sizes. When a master workshop wants to demonstrate what it can do, it does not weave a ballroom piece; it weaves a small rug at staggering knot density, a calling card where every centimeter must be perfect. That is why collectors hunt small formats, and why the small rug by your bedside can be, knot for knot, the finest thing in the house. Every small Persian rug on this page is hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind, and photographed exactly as it will arrive.

The range runs from the rugged to the exquisite. Persian Baluch rugs and rare Gholtogh rugs bring nomadic character to entries and halls, weavings made to be lived on hard. At the other pole, small formats are the classic home of pure silk, and many of our silk rugs in this size range are woven fine enough for the wall. If you already know your measurements, the dimension pages go straight to inventory: 3x5 Persian rugs and 4x6 Persian rugs hold the most popular small formats.

Small rugs are also the wisest first purchase: modest in price, complete in authenticity, and educational in a way no article matches, because living with real hand-knotted work teaches your eye. Our rug experts enjoy first-time buyers and answer on phone or chat at any hour. With free shipping and free returns in all 50 states and Canada, the smallest rugs we sell are also the easiest way to begin.
