Whether you're planning to design a luxurious English-style library or a stylish modern living room, there are various choices of oriental carpets.
It is recommended to turn the carpet upside down when buying. You should see the foundation threads on authentic handwoven oriental carpets.
These foundation threads are commonly referred to as weft threads and lie horizontally on handwoven carpets with borders. The price of an oriental carpet depends on various factors and is evaluated like a piece of art.
The lifespan of the carpet is important in pricing. Unlike machine-made carpets that lose value over time, handwoven oriental carpets increase in value because their colors age better and designs become more unique.
Oriental rugs with a high knot count are more expensive because dense weaving requires more time and material. Large rugs are more expensive than small ones.
Machine-made rugs cost significantly less, while handwoven rugs can be very valuable. When buying, ensure the rug harmonizes with your home décor and don't hesitate to choose bold, unique colors.
Oriental rugs bring comfort and convenience to any home. Whether you want a modern oriental rug or a traditional one, all are handwoven from high-quality materials in regions such as Western Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, and the Caucasus.
The history of woven rugs goes back to ancient civilizations. The world's oldest known rug, the Pazyryk Rug, was found in the Altai Mountains in Siberia.
Knot density is one of the key quality indicators. The more knots per square meter, the finer, more detailed, and more valuable the rug.
Oriental carpets come in unlimited color variations. Each region has its own color identity, such as: Afghan rugs in dark red and Nain rugs in blue-cream combinations.
Each color carries its own symbolism and fits different interior styles.
