All Persian rugs are Oriental rugs, but not all Oriental rugs are Persian. In order for an Oriental rug to be Persian, it must have been made in the country of Iran. Iranian rugs can come in all different types of styles, colors, weaves, etc. and it can take years of experience to be able to tell the difference, so it is really best to just inquire after the rug's country of origin when trying to figure out if an Oriental rug is Persian or not.

How do you identify a Persian or oriental rug?
Any rug made in Iran is called Persian and they are named after the city where they have been woven. So a Persian Kashan rug is made in the city of Kashan. Each city or region has its unique pattern, color combination, and style of weave. All other rugs made in India, Pakistan, Turkey, Nepal, and Tibet are called Oriental. Some of these rugs copy Persian patterns and some have their unique characteristics. Both Persian and Oriental rugs are handmade. In order to correctly identify a rug, you will need a few years of experience in this field. If you can distinguish handmade from machine made rugs, you have solved half of the problem. If you are talking about a handmade rug, I would recommend seeking professional advice. I would gladly take a look at some pictures and try to help you with this. I hope this answers your question.

What are oriental rugs made of?
Please note that what is referred to as an Oriental rug will have to be made by hand. Machine-made rugs with Persian or oriental patterns are reproductions and should not be considered as "Oriental rugs". Most of Oriental or Persian rugs have a foundation (warp and weft) of cotton and a pile of wool. After each single row of knots are tied according to a plan or a cartoon, either one or two shots of weft will be inserted over them and packed down with a special tool called "DAFEH". When the whole project is accomplished, the rug will be cut off the loom, washed, shaved with another special tool, and stretched to make the rug lay flat on the floor. Salvage binding to the sides and chain stitching to the ends will give the rug a nice finish. Of course, there are rugs with a silk or wool foundation as well. In a rug with wool foundation, the pile is always wool as well. However, in a rug with a silk foundation, the pile can be just wool, pure silk, or a combination of wool and silk. I hope this answers your question.
How to Clean Oriental Rugs?
Cleaning rugs can be a difficult process, especially for rugs that have been stained. This process is further complicated when cleaning a fancier type of rug, especially if it is an Oriental rug. Oriental rugs are very easy to damage, so it is entirely possible to do more harm than good when cleaning an Oriental rug. Follow these steps to clean off your Oriental rug without ruining it. If possible, you should try to prevent getting an Oriental rug dirty in the first place. To protect your rug, do not walk on them in outdoor shoes. This will keep dirt from being tracked in all over the rug. Before attempting to clean your Oriental rug, you should be sure that it truly is in need of a cleaning. It is important to not wash Oriental rugs too often, because the process is hard on the rugs. In general, you’ll want to wash your rug once a year or once every other year. To check if your rug needs to be cleaned, lift it up and either shake it or kick the back of the rug. If a massive cloud of dust and dirt flies out from the rug, it is ready for a cleaning. Some dust can be expected to leave the rug no matter what, but this doesn’t necessarily signify that it is time for a cleaning. Once you have judged your rug to be in need of a thorough cleaning, you should begin by vacuuming both sides of the rug. Then, hang it up and beat it vigorously until all dust and dirt has been removed. Using a mild rug shampoo and cold water, shampoo the rug gently. Use a soft brush to lightly scrub the rug and clean out the fringe. Once the entire surface of the rug has been cleaned, rinse it off using cold water from a hose. You should rinse the rug out thoroughly so that there isn’t any remaining rug shampoo. Squeeze out any excess water with a squeegee and lay the rug flat to dry. Applying water and white vinegar to spots is an easy way to remove stains from an Oriental rug.
