THE MARKS OF QUALITY IN YOUR PERSIAN CARPETS AND ORIENTAL RUGS
It is always said that when you want to buy quality Persian carpets and oriental rugs, you should shop from well reputable stores. Well this of course is a fact. You definitely have to consider the reputation of the store that you shop from. Probability of finding a quality rug being sold on the street corners is very low. The vendors will assure you about the quality, but most of these rugs are not that high quality. Ensure that the store you shop from has good reviews from other shoppers.
However, a good store is not a clear indicator of quality. You may find a store that sells four different Persian carpets and oriental rugs, all the same sizes but very different prices. Although, all these rugs may be of good quality, some may be of a higher than others and this may be reflected in the price. If you want to buy rugs that are of high quality, you should never go for cheap rugs or rugs that are being sold at throw away prices due to one sale or another. High quality rugs come at a price and no store owner will sell them very cheaply because they will mean that the store will incur some losses.
Another mark of quality in Persian carpets and Oriental rugs is the place of origin. Most high quality rugs originate from Iran. When you buy your rugs, check the manufacturer’s label. If the rugs are from Pakistan, Indonesia, India or other Asian countries, they may be of good quality; but if you are looking for the best quality, then go for the ones that are made in Iran. These carpets are normally thick and are made of very good quality fibers. Naturally, if you check in stores, Persian carpets and oriental rugs that are made in Iran normally cost more than the others made from countries such as China. This price range is normally due to quality.
When checking the quality of most fabrics, normally one has to consider the thread count. When it comes to carpets and other rugs, you have to check the number of knots per square inch. There more the number of notes, the higher the quality of the rugs. If a rug has very few knots per square inch, then it is of very low quality. Hand knotted Persian carpets and oriental rugs are often very high quality.
The age of the rugs may be also another indicator of quality and value. Old Persian carpets and oriental rugs normally cost a lot and this is because they high quality and made from original and genuine materials. They are always in great condition despite their ages and their artwork and designs are very rich in History.
High quality, original and genuine Persian carpets and oriental rugs are always sold with an authentication certificate. Ensure that you get this certificate when making your purchase.
