Hand knotted rugs

Hand knotted rugs are by far higher in quality than machine made rugs. These investments, possessing a high resale value, will last through generations.  The construction of these rugs is much stronger than hand tufted, hand hooked, flat woven, or machine made rugs.

The fringe in a handmade rug is actually the warp thread of the rug, running through the rug from end to end. The pile is tied into the warp threads using one of two traditional knots, the Persian knot or the Turkish knot. A weft thread is then woven in between each row of knots to secure them even more tightly into the rug.  All this is compacted tightly to form a very dense and strong structure that can withstand many years of hard use.

Knot density is a traditional measure for quality of handmade carpets. It refers, quite simply, to the number of knots per unit of surface area - typically either per square inch or per square centimeter.

For two carpets of the same age and similar design, the one with the higher number of knots will be the more valuable. With more than 30 knots per square centimeter (1 sq cm = approx. 0.155 square inch), the carpet pattern will have less pixelation. The carpet's surface will also feel more solid and will give better protection against aging.

A Persian carpet with fewer than 30 knots per sq cm is generally considered an average to low-quality carpet, while over 50 indicates a fine piece of work.

Hand-tying of knots is a very labour-intensive task. An average weaver can tie almost 10,000 knots per day. More difficult patterns with an above-average knot density can only be woven by a skilful weaver, thus increasing the production costs even more.

Our Tibetan rugs and persian rugs are high-quality hand-knotted rugs
