The Qajar collection is a luxurious blend of two ''styles'' of beautiful antique textiles. The first is that of old world Persia. The Qajar Dynasty ruled ancient Persia from approximately 1794 to 1925. Most of the designs that we have reproduced in this collection were created during this time period. We have researched the most unique of these ancient designs and woven them in today's most popular colors. The second style that we have reproduced is the ancient Kashmiri shawl. These ancient ''Jamawar'' shawls that we have translated into oriental carpets are of the most unusual colors and designs. The Qajar collection is hand-knotted 100% wool made in India. The wool is a blend of hand-spun, high twist Gazni wool with machine twisted Indian wool. Vegetable dyes are used in these carpets to achieve that ''antique'' look. The collection also boasts a unique ''antique'' finish, as they are sheared very close to the frame in random places within the rug design. This technique creates the ''worn'' look typical of vintage pieces with a beautifully subtle hand. The Qajar Rug Colleciton contains functional pieces of art that will be enjoyed by generations to come. About RugStudio Rug Studio is the e-commerce division of Oriental Rug Gallery, L.P., a fourth-generation family-owned company based in San Antonio, Texas. For nearly 100 years, our family has built a trusted reputation in rug manufacturing, importing, wholesaling, and retailing - always rooted in quality, value, and service. Our story began in 1930 with founder Kaloust Aijian, an Armenian Genocide survivor who fled his village of Hadjin and came to America by way of France, arriving through New York Harbor. With deep knowledge of fine rugs and a relentless work ethic, he built a respected business founded on craftsmanship, integrity, and personal service. Kaloust first operated a rug boutique inside D.H. Holmes in New Orleans before relocating in 1946 to San Antonio, where he established Oriental Rug Gallery inside Joske's downtown store - laying the foundation for decades of growth in Texas. Today, led by Kaloust's grandchildren and great-grandchildren, we continue that legacy online through Rug Studio, helping customers nationwide find the perfect rug - from handmade heirlooms and traditional Orientals to modern designs for today's interiors.
