I often help friends and relatives to buy Persian rugs. A while ago, I visited a friend and I found out she had paid a great deal of money to buy a fake silk Persian rug. She had bought it before I met her. The rug looked terrible. I did not tell her of course but I thought I would write a small guid here so that I can forward the link in case my assistance is required for freinds. That might help some other people too in an unlikely event that they read this page.

Isfahan
For travellers to enchanting Isfahan who might read my blog :
Hakim Big Bazar in Isfahan has lots of city and nomadic rugs . There is also a carpet bazar there- linking Shah Square (Naghshe Jahan square) to Hakim big bazar. Its one of the largest bazars ever to buy rugs. Its an old traditional bazar that has a roof and lots of cute old salesmen drinking tea constantly. Give them a hug for me! There are lots and lots of shops so walk around before making a choice and haggle. Don't show too excited !
If you go there eat Kabab as well with Sangak bread. Dizi (Abgoosht ) is Isfahani favourite too. Be careful not to pour Dizi over your new rug but if you did, there are really good rug repairs there .
After Dizi or Kabab , you will need either saffron ice cream or Faloodeh as dessert. Then you need a nap to be a true Isfahani ! You can have a nap on your rug! Hah !
