See our great Rug Collection here online, and stop by our Showroom to see more in person. One of our vendors has few great tips for buying a hand knotted rug:
“Buying a rug can be tricky! Don’t know what you’re buying? Check these 3 places:
ENDS: In a hand knotted rug, the fringe is “part” of the rug — NOT sewn on as an extension, as is the case in hand tufted and power loomed rugs.
BACK: Hand tufted rugs are almost always covered with a cotton/canvas backing. The pattern is clearly visible on the backside of hand knotted rugs.
SIDE: Hand tufted rugs always have “serged” sides or machine stitching on both sides of the rug.”
