San Diego Persian Rugs

Direct Importer of Fine Persian Rugs In San Diego

It takes at least 8 months to make a hand made Persian rug and it’s considered as a masterpiece and increases in value over time. It is durable and can be used for over 100 years. On the other hand, a machine made rug takes only a few minutes to make and is significantly less durable and much cheaper. However, if you have no knowledge of rugs, it is difficult to tell the difference between hand made Persian rugs and machine made rugs. Remember the following when shopping for rugs in order to tell the difference right away between the two.

  1. Back

    Flip the rug and check the knots. A handmade rug’s knots are not even. Some knots can be bigger and some are smaller because they are the work of a person. However, the knots of a machine made rug are perfectly even. In addition, when you flip a handmade rug, you can see more of the pattern and design of the rug. The back of a machine made rug shows a clear pattern.

  2. Fringe

    Another way to determine whether it is handmade or machine made rug is to look for fringes.The fringe on a rug is generally made from the warp threads of handmade rugs, but machine made rug is sewn on and is attached as a finishing touch.

  3. Edge

    The edges of a handmade rug are overcast by hand, but machine made rugs are stitched by machine. If you compare the two yourself, you'll see a completely different look.

If you do not forget those tips, you should be able to buy a handmade rug without any confusion and difficulty. Plus, if you are in San Diego, you would surely want to visit Arman Fine Rugs.
