Oriental Area Rugs - They Add Dramatic Flair To Your HomeThe name "oriental rug" describes a rug or carpet produced anywhere on the continent of Asia, and includes Persian, Afghanistan and Indian rugs, as well as many others. Antique oriental rugs are the most expensive and should be accompanied by documentation. Intricacy and rarity of design as well as the class of textile or fibers and the production method also affects the price: - Fibers – natural or synthetic - Handmade, hand-knotted, or machine woven - Number of knots per square inch Weaving rugs by hand is an ancient art and each country has developed styles and patterns based on religious and ethnic customs. "Handmade" means the rug has been produced by hand, but has not necessarily been hand-knotted. "Hand-hooked" means a hand-held tool has been used to insert the yarn into a backing. Handmade hand-knotted rugs are more expensive because the knots have been individually tightened by weavers, which makes them more durable than machine-woven. A flaw is carefully woven into oriental area rugs from the Middle East because of the Islamic philosophy that only God is perfect.
