Shahrzad Crimson & Navy Washable Persian Rug

Paris-Bagdad is an online rug brand selling machine-washable Persian rugs to customers across the United States. Each design is precision-printed on 100% polyester low-pile velvet. It begins with the great Persian tradition: the medallions, the borders, the florals and the colors that weavers refined over centuries. We choose each design for how faithfully it carries those old patterns, then bring it to life on soft velvet with a dotted non-slip backing, made to go in the washing machine. The heirloom look, without the gallery price or the fear of the first spill.

100% polyester low-pile velvet, with a precision-printed design and a dotted non-slip backing. It is soft underfoot and made to go in the washing machine.

No, and that's on purpose. Paris-Bagdad rugs are Persian-style: designs inspired by traditional Persian patterns, precision-printed on machine-washable polyester velvet, not hand-knotted. That is what makes them washable and affordable.

As closely as a screen allows. We do our best to show every color as it really is, and each rug comes with plain-language color notes: base, medallion, border. Screens vary a little, so if you're unsure, write to us before you order and we'll help you choose.

Yes, within about an inch. Every size is listed in feet and in centimeters, so you know exactly what you're getting. Like any rug, allow about 1 inch (1–3 cm) either way.

In most living rooms, the largest size that fits your space. A simple rule: the rug should be large enough for at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs to rest on it. Our sizes run from 3'3" x 5'3" (100 x 160 cm) to 6'7" x 9'10" (200 x 300 cm). Not sure? Send us a photo of your room and its measurements, and we'll suggest sizes and pieces that would work. It's free.

Barely. The low, dense velvet pile keeps its fibers where they belong. A few loose fibers in the first days are perfectly normal; one quick vacuum and it's settled.

For years, with everyday care. It is made to keep its look, and because it's washable, a spill or a muddy paw doesn't have to be the end of it.

It's simple, and it never needs dry cleaning. Vacuum regularly without the beater bar and blot spills right away with a clean cloth and cold water. When it needs more, put it in the washing machine on a gentle, cold cycle and let it air dry flat. Larger sizes may need a large-capacity machine.

Yes, that's what it's made for. The low pile is less likely to hold onto pet hair and dust, the dotted backing helps keep it from sliding, the pattern hides everyday life, and when there's an accident, it goes in the wash.

We sell online only. We put everything into what you will see and feel: the timeless pattern, the softness underfoot, the ease of a rug that goes in the wash. And nothing into what you won't: no showroom, no middleman. You get the presence of an heirloom at a price that makes sense for real life.
