What is a hand-knotted rug?
Hand-knotted rugs are made by skilled artisans who work several months to a year to create one rug. Iran, Pakistan, China, India, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Afghanistan are known for their quality and exquisite designs.
- Every rug is made of thousands to millions of knots, each one tied individually to a foundation.
- The designs are often complex with myriad colors and fine detail work.
- The front and back reflect the same pattern. However, the front is the plush surface, while the back is the knotted surface.
- Artisans shave the rug after the knots are completed to adjust the pile size.
- The quality of the wool, the number of knots, and the design are all factors in determining the quality and value of the rug.
