   Things To Assess When Buying Handmade Fine Area Rugs 
 
Fine area rugs can be used to beautify any home because they are 
exquisite works of art. A handmade fine rug's rich colors, weaving, and 
textures greatly contribute to its quality and long-lasting worth. 
There are several considerations you should make when purchasing 
handcrafted exquisite carpets.  
 
 
It should go without saying that the rug store you choose will have a 
significant impact on your rug-buying experience.  
A competent fine rug business will be able to address all of your 
concerns and questions while providing high-quality rugs. The majority 
of the headache would be eliminated as a result, but if you are not an 
expert yourself, some ideas can be helpful. 
Consider the following when purchasing a high-quality area rug: 
1)How Does The Rug Itself Feel? 
The finest beautiful rugs are hand-knotted and made of wool, silk, fake 
silk, or a combination of these materials. To assess a rug's durability 
and capacity to withstand use and traffic, the weave should be 
examined. Although a variety of various materials, including silk and silk 
mixes, can be used to create great rugs, it is crucial to choose the rug 
material based on the intended location for the rug. 
Wool is your greatest option, for instance, if you require a quality rug to 
put in an area with a lot of traffic. Silk or bamboo silk would be a great 
option if you want to use the rug as art, display it as such, or put it in a 
less-used part of the house like the bedroom, bathroom, or office. 
2)Is The Rug Colorfast 
The quality of the dye itself must be confirmed. There are two ways to 
accomplish this. The first is to get a white towel with cold water and 
rub it over each color that was used to dye the rug. The dye will 
typically leak onto the towel if it is not colored fast. Lint from the rug 
will be on the towel, although color bleeding is not a result of this.  
 
 
The second, and best, approach to eliminate any concerns you may 
have about the dyes or any other aspect of the rug's quality is to work 
with a respectable, well-reviewed dealer who offers a warranty on the 
rugs, ensuring that you won't have to be concerned about any 
problems with the rug's quality. 
3)What Is The Rug Design And Shape Like 
Fine hand-knotted rugs are never the same. Variations constantly exist 
because the carpets themselves are made by expert artists with their 
own hands.  
This enhances the exquisite rug that each customer purchases' 
attractiveness and originality. The shape of the rug differs as well; for 
instance, they are not always precisely rectangular. However, it's crucial 
to check that the weave doesn't have any weak spots. Aside from that, 
quality carpets provide several patterns and shape alternatives for each 
room in your house. 
4)How Is The Back Of The Rug 
A rug may frequently appear lovely when seen from the front, but it is 
usually advisable to consider the rug's back. Any loose ends, breaking 
apart seams, colors that have become discolored, or weaving problems 
will be visible from the back. This shouldn't be a huge concern because 
a decent rug retailer will always have high-quality carpets, but if you do 
notice any problems upon closer inspection, just ask! Before making a 
crucial purchase, the greatest rug shops will provide excellent customer 
care and leave you happy. 
5) What Kind Of Rug Maintenance And After-Care Is Needed? 
 
 
This is an important query to keep in mind because the kind of area rug 
you select material will have a somewhat varied cleaning requirement. 
Of course, your choice of an area rug and where it is placed in your 
home may be affected if you are unwilling to devote too much time to 
after-care. The good news is that reputable rug stores also provide 
cleaning and repair services, so you don't have to worry about that 
when you browse for quality rugs. 
How To Buy A Fine Handmade Rug 
1) Get The Big Picture 
A fine rug created by an experienced craftsperson with experience is a 
study of symmetry. It should be relatively straightforward, lying flat and 
straight, regular in shape, and not bumpy or crooked when it is lying on 
the ground. A clear design that is nearly the same on the front and back 
should have colors that are neither harsh nor faded. A high-quality, 
hand-made rug is an elegant and distinguished work of art, and you'll 
feel its presence in a quiet but obvious way. 
2)Look For Quality 
Since more knots can better represent the design's subtle curves, rugs 
with finer knotting of up to 290 knots per inch are typically regarded as 
more precious and desired. The fabrics chosen, with fine wool and silk 
being the most preferred, are other signs of excellence. Another 
important component of the rug is the dyes. Vegetable dyes are highly 
sought-after, yet they only appear in a small proportion of handmade 
rugs. 
3)Know Your Space 
 
 
Do the necessary preparation work before you go shopping. Measure 
the space precisely, taking into account the rug's surrounding flooring 
border. Also decide where you want to place your rugs for example if 
you have a large living room then medium size rug will be the best 
option, if you want to lay a rug under the table then circle rugs will be 
the best choice. You will have more purchasing options if there is a size 
range available rather than just one specific size.  Choose between a 
traditional and a contemporary look. Prioritizing size and style will 
enable you to reduce your options when you are shopping.
