No, there is even a couple of dedicated Persian rugs shops in Christchurch, 600,000 thousand people.

Sure today. But before and the decade or so after WWII when those flip over floor brushes were popular with vacuum manufacturers I don't think anyone other than a few really wealthy people in the west had Persian rugs in their homes. I was born in 1957 and didn't know what a Persian rug was until well into adulthood. Literally nobody in my family or circle of friends had stuff like that. That was stuff you saw in a museum or maybe in Hearst Castle in San Simeon on the California coast. They weren't in the living rooms of America.

We see a good number of them. Maybe 1 in 5 homes have them.

To this day I don't know a single soul who has a Persian rug.

I have some expensive woolen rugs from Scandinavia I bought when I was single and heavily into contemporary Scandinavian furnishings but unfortunately those do not hold up well to dogs and kids so they are retired and need a good cleaning.
