A true handmade persian rug will lay flat, these are machine made and the weft at the outer ends is too tight. You can try stretching them or snip where it is pulling.
I bought "Ruggies" and they work better than expected on an 8x10 area rug. My rug is on a wood floor but they are supposed to work on carpet only.
I'm certainly going to give it a try. Thank you so much.
Many thanks.
You can try anti curl inserts, like this one- https://www.amazon.com/Curl-Stop-Anti-Curling-System-Corners/dp/B005BYNCZK
i have true handmade persians and some of them curl also. They have been rolled up in storage for the last 10 years. I have used pieces of stick and peel linoleum to the corners until they relax.
hey get couple of sticky back vinyl square and cut them to shape you need
