In most cases, the rugs are named after the city they are woven in. They are dominated by floral patterns symbolising the gardens of paradise, and nature with motifs of deer, goats, trees and other herbivorous animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eParak \u003c\/em\u003erugs (Persian meaning: \u003cem\u003efeathers\u003c\/em\u003e) are named after their resemblance to peacock feathers, with wide floral sprays of feather-shaped motifs. These are considered fine rugs not only due to their high knot count, but also because of the fine Merino wool used, giving the rug a dense and soft pile. The symbolism of peacocks reflects the typical setting these rugs would traditionally be laid in, mainly palace courts and large homes, where the wealthy residents would often keep peacocks as pets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57160961524094,"sku":null,"price":646.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9350\/1054\/files\/IMG_5967_bd0419fc-6a30-4ab3-ae33-8c265d5a570f.jpg?v=1774384535","url":"https:\/\/www.khorasanrugs.co.uk\/products\/persian-parak-round-rug","provider":"Khorasan Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
