Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a rug truly handmade?
A truly handmade rug is knotted or woven by hand on a loom, one knot at a time, with no machine tufting. You can verify it by looking at the back: the pattern should be clearly visible in the knots, and the fringe is part of the rug's foundation rather than sewn on.
How can I tell a handmade rug from a machine-made one?
Turn the rug over. On a handmade rug the design shows through on the back and small irregularities in the pattern are normal, because every knot was tied by a person. Machine-made rugs have a uniform, perfectly repeating back, often with a plastic-feeling mesh or glued backing.
How long does a handmade wool rug last?
A quality hand-knotted wool rug typically lasts 20 to 50 years or more with basic care: rotate it once or twice a year, vacuum without a beater bar, and have it hand-washed by a rug specialist when needed. As importers since 1979, we ship each rug directly from our Deer Park, New York warehouse.
