Owner Frank Nasre’s family were Persian carpet weavers in Isfahan, Iran, his father was a designer and his mother a very fine rug weaver. Now we all call Melbourne home. Frank’s first shop in Australia was in Brunswick St, Fitzroy and we traded as Blendd Pty Ltd and later changed our name to The Persian Company Pty Ltd. We have had shops in many locations in Melbourne and we have been trading as Discounted Rugs Pty Ltd in Sydney in various locations for the past 7 years. Empress moved into machine-made rugs whilst in Sydney. Now our massive warehouse at 362 Lygon St, Brunswick stocks everything hand-made and many machine-made rugs and runners. Very fine to very Tribal and all sizes front door mats to massive room sizes and runners to any length. Sustainable rugs made from natural wools, cotton and silks. This is a cottage industry that has evolved over thousands of years and very often is the means of independence for the mostly women weavers. We are happy be a part of the great tradition. We buy from the source and we buy the best. We are steeped in the rug weaving tradition but live in the vibrant city of Melbourne. We love our product and feel confident you will also. Good rugs make great sense.
