HAND-KNOTTED RUGS
When it comes to the rug designing process, you can’t do much better than hand-knotted rugs. Every hand-knotted rug is 100% unique and one-of-a-kind, and this is because the knotting and weaving process involved with these area rugs is incredibly labor intensive and requires expert creativity levels.
All of the very best area rugs in the world are hand-knotted, including Oriental, Persian and Turkish rugs. Rug Source is proud to offer a vast selection of hand-knotted rugs originating from all over the world, and finding the hand-knotted rug of your dreams at an affordable price has never been easier when working with our seasoned specialists!
What Makes Hand-Knotted Rugs Unique From Machine-Made Area Rugs?
The main thing that differentiates hand-knotted rugs from the rest of the rug industry is the manufacturing process, because artisans always intensively make hand-knotted rugs for months at a time. This of course is very different as compared to machine-made rugs that are typically mass-developed in factories with much less attention to detail.
Hand-knotted rugs subsequently produce an incredibly precise end result in terms of design and texture. Hand-knotted rugs are also known to be much more durable as compared to machine-made rugs.
Tips To Help You Know That A Rug Is Hand-Knotted
The sad truth is that many rug shoppers will be misled by shady sales representatives when it comes to the validity of hand-knotted rugs, but staying informed can help you avoid these scenarios altogether.
You of course don’t need to worry about the validity of hand-knotted rug selections when you work directly with reputable experts like the Rug Source team, but if you’re abroad and shopping for rugs then you should look for the following to confirm that a rug is in fact hand-knotted:
- Make sure the backside of the rug is symmetrical to the front and has no backing materials
- Examine the rug’s knots for unevenness and signs of human error that machines can’t produce
- Make sure the rug’s fringes are a true extension of the rug’s foundation, and not sewn-on
- Do a paper towel test to examine the rug’s dyes
