I am not too sure what you would like to know. Persian rugs would mean that it was made in Persia (modern day Iran), and Turkish would mean that it was made in Turkey.

How do you identify a Persian or oriental rug?

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.
