Rug Class
At Pride of Persia, our emphasis is on education. We offer an eight-week class, "The World of Persian Rugs," through Rice University's Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies.

This fall's class is scheduled for Tuesday evenings beginning September 14th.

New Arrivals
Our contemporary rug collection just keeps getting bigger and better! We had to add a new section under "Products" to showcase them. Many more Lapchi Hand-Woven Carpets in Silk and Wool have arrived, including the Urban Home Outlet collection. We now offer a wide range of gorgeous Tibetan-style rugs from Nepal. These fabulous custom creations join our exquisite rugs from Hadji Jalili Revivals along with our Heritage rugs and Persian Loribaft Gebbehs as among the most desirable newer pieces available today. We have also received the remaining inventory of Woven Arts, Inc., which includes many palace size rugs. Visit our searchable gallery to see these along with our extensive collection of antique Persian rugs.

Congratulations!
Many of you continue to ask about Puya Alikhani, who worked for Pride of Persia from 1999 until 2006 while attending college. Puya graduated with honors from Texas A&M College of Medicine and is now a resident in neurological surgery at Tampa General Hospital. His wife, Dr. Narges Khalili, is also at Tampa General as a neurology resident. We are so proud of Puya and Narges!

"RICE NIGHT"
We were delighted to host a special event on March 30, 2010 celebrating the many wonderful relationships we have formed through our alma mater, Rice University. Many of our friends (colleagues, students, parents, alumni) from Rice University and the Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies joined us to benefit the Walter W. Isle Lectureship in Environmental Literature. If you missed the event but would like to contribute, please send a check payable to the Walter Isle Memorial Fund to:
