Thanks. My mother is an aficionado of Persian rugs and she loved this. You made an old lady's morning.
Geography
Welcome to c/Geography @ Mander.xyz!
Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

I'm Persian, I have family in the rug business, and even I didn't know which regions any of these patterns were from, I just kind of thought of them all as Persian.
My dad had a few of these from travelling back in the 70s and 80s. I grew up playing on rugs like this in our living room. Made me smile to see some of these patterns from good memories. :)
Do you know if Persian rugs are mostly restricted to the patters shown on the picture?
In Italy there was a period of national identity creation where they basically went wild with regional foods, deciding that "this dish is from this city and this dish is from that city" even when people had been eating it in both for centuries. Would be interesting if there's a similar story behind the regional rugs, or if it's a (more) genuine historic distinction behind it.
I'm surprised there is such a thing as WikiRug
I'm elated there's such a thing as WikiRug. I see absolutely no use for it for myself personally but I'm happy there's a site for all the rug enthusiasts out there.
... this may have come out a bit wrong.
There's a non-fetish wikipedia of anime bath scenes. After I saw that I am not surprised there's a wiki for anything anymore lmao.

After having been on the Internet for too long I'm not so sure even the rug wiki is non-fetish.
