Silk carpet is one of the finest examples of Persian rugs, with a history dating back to the Safavid era. One of the unique features of silk rugs is their prismatic property—this means they display different shades when viewed from various angles. This characteristic has made silk rugs incredibly popular. The appearance of silk carpets is unmatched by wool and offers exceptional quality.
Despite being soft, silk carpets are extremely durable and are considered a luxurious fiber. A silk rug can also be seen as an investment, as its value tends to increase over time.

In this type of rug, silk is typically used only in the patterns and border areas, while the background remains woolen.
