Southwest Looms

Southwest Looms/The Persian Carpet is a boutique rug manufacturer in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As the licensee for Pendleton Woolen Mills, we have been interpreting their famous trade blankets into a collection of hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs for over a decade. Our nationally recognized Arts & Crafts Collection offers over 20 designs that honor both the British Arts & Crafts movement of the late 1800s and later Mission and American Prairie Style in the U.S. The Classic Revival Collection, woven in Afghanistan using the finest wools and dyes, offers antique Persian, Caucasian and Turkish designs that are hand-knotted using rich, saturated dyes. The Dreamcatcher Collection is our homage to the weavers of the Navajo. These hand-woven rugs are recognized as the most authentic Navajo reproductions available, incorporating whip-stitched edges, lazy lines, and corner tassels. Our Santa Fe Collection offers lodge style with a modern twist. Luxury under your feet, Santa Fe is 100 knot Tibetan weave, high quality New Zealand wool in modern palettes and designs. All of our collections can be seen at The Persian Carpet, our headquarters in Chapel Hill. For over 40 years, we have been serving the Triangle with the best selection of Oriental rugs sourced world-wide
