Why does Epox sell hand-knotted carpets?

We began selling Persian carpets with a strong desire to convey to the people of Japan the beauty and high value of carefully hand-woven carpets, and the wonderfulness of living with these valuable pieces. Since then, we have played a pioneering role in the sale of hand-woven carpets in Japan for a long time.

What is a Persian carpet?

Persian carpets, said to be one of the three great textiles in the world, originated in ancient Persia (present-day Iran) and boast thousands of years of history and tradition.
Persian rugs are primarily made from wool and silk or a blend of both. Wool is durable and has a warm texture.
Silk, on the other hand, is shiny and extremely soft to the touch.
High quality Persian rugs, whether made from wool or silk, are woven with a high density of knots.
Common designs include medallions, floral patterns, animal motifs, and geometric patterns, but there are also many different characteristics depending on the region and weaver.
Due to their beauty and quality, they are used not only as carpets but also as tapestries and decorative items.
