Any rug made in Iran is called Persian and they are named after the city where they have been woven. So a Persian Kashan rug is made in the city of Kashan. Each city or region has its unique pattern, color combination, and style of weave. All other rugs made in India, Pakistan, Turkey, Nepal, and Tibet are called Oriental. Some of these rugs copy Persian patterns and some have their unique characteristics. Both Persian and Oriental rugs are handmade. In order to correctly identify a rug, you will need a few years of experience in this field. If you can distinguish handmade from machine made rugs, you have solved half of the problem. If you are talking about a handmade rug, I would recommend seeking professional advice. I would gladly take a look at some pictures and try to help you with this. I hope this answers your question.

How do you identify a Persian rug versus a Oriental Rug?
All Persian rugs are Oriental rugs, but not all Oriental rugs are Persian. In order for an Oriental rug to be Persian, it must have been made in the country of Iran. Iranian rugs can come in all different types of styles, colors, weaves, etc. and it can take years of experience to be able to tell the difference, so it is really best to just inquire after the rug's country of origin when trying to figure out if an Oriental rug is Persian or not.

What are oriental rugs made of?
Please note that what is referred to as an Oriental rug will have to be made by hand. Machine-made rugs with Persian or oriental patterns are reproductions and should not be considered as "Oriental rugs". Most of Oriental or Persian rugs have a foundation (warp and weft) of cotton and a pile of wool. After each single row of knots are tied according to a plan or a cartoon, either one or two shots of weft will be inserted over them and packed down with a special tool called "DAFEH". When the whole project is accomplished, the rug will be cut off the loom, washed, shaved with another special tool, and stretched to make the rug lay flat on the floor. Salvage binding to the sides and chain stitching to the ends will give the rug a nice finish. Of course, there are rugs with a silk or wool foundation as well. In a rug with wool foundation, the pile is always wool as well. However, in a rug with a silk foundation, the pile can be just wool, pure silk, or a combination of wool and silk. I hope this answers your question.
