About Little-Persia
Little-Persia is the Uk's leading rug specialiast trading over a decade in quality handmade Persian and Oriental rugs at most competitive prices via their website and gallery in Glasgow.
The Showpiece

Despite its origins in ancient Asia, the Persian rug is now the showpiece of many British homes. In a traditional house a Persian rug brings warmth and beauty to the living spaces. In a contemporary interior it compliments wooden floors, modern furniture, accessories and light fittings.
With their subtly brilliant colours and wonderful patterns, handmade Persian rugs add pleasure and joy to people's lives in residential and office surroundings. A Persian rug is also a financial asset, because its value increases with age, making each purchase a worthwhile investment.
However, as a result of their popularity, the market is flooded with cheap imitations, and for the general public it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish real from fake. This is where Little-Persia comes in. We offer you one of the largest selections of authentic Persian rugs in this country.
Stringent Selection Criteria
To provide you with the best Persian rugs, we regularly visit Iran, meeting urban craftsmen, rural weavers and tribal nomads. In each town, village or tribe we examine the manner of weaving and its distinctive patterns. For example, the specially commissioned designs of city-based craftsmen, the rustic styles of villagers or the tribal motives of nomad weavers.
Little-Persia selects its rugs on the basis of stringent criteria such as originality and craftsmanship. Using our experience and knowledge, we also look at the producer's choice of materials, including wool, silk and cotton, and the dyes used to paint the yarn before weaving starts. We determine the quality of the soft yet strong cut-pile rugs by testing the texture of their fabric and the density of the knots.
Traditional and Contemporary
