5 Reasons to Purchase a Fine Quality, Hand-Knotted Rug
Foundation - Set the stage right! The rug is the foundation of a well-designed room – in fact, it is 1/3 of the total space. As every good designer knows, the rug is just as important to the room as everything else in it. The right rug will tie all the furnishings/accessories together, enhance the aesthetic, and improve acoustics/sound quality.*(Design tip: Always be sure to pair similar levels of quality between the rug and the furniture. Never lose the over-all effect of the room by short-changing the rug).
Aesthetics - They’ve got the look – and it can’t be replicated! The centuries-old practice of hand-knotting produces a superior product, similar to an original work of art. Hand-knotted rugs are much like antique furniture - they will only get prettier with both wear and age. With an updated design and color palette, you’ve got a piece that is versatile and will stand the test of time. Simply change a pillow fabric or maybe a piece of art and voila.....you’ve got a whole new setting! High quality rugs convey a sophisticated, timeless appeal and will enhance the overall setting. What’s not to love about that?
Value - Invest now or pay later! The saying “you get what you pay for” is a definite truth when it comes to rugs. Unlike lower quality, mass produced rugs, high quality wool hand-knotted rugs will never need to be replaced. These rugs are made to withstand decades of use, both in their performance and aesthetics. In the end, you will not only save money but also time. There is so much value in doing it once and getting it right!
Cleanability – High grade wool is worry free! Not only is it resilient to wear and tear, cleaning is a breeze. Wool is naturally stain resistant and also repels dust and dirt. Regular vacuuming is the only maintenance required. And in the event of a spill, soap and water works wonders. Hand-knotted rugs can also be sent out for a full immersion, professional wash.)
Quality – Premium wool is in demand! Its reputation as the best material for floor coverings still stands and will never change. A high quality, wool hand-knotted carpet is low maintenance, hard wearing, and will last a lifetime. You will not be plagued with issues such as shedding, crushing, chemical off-gassing, etc. that are characteristics of mass produced rugs. Good quality never goes out of style!
