  Handmade Rugs  aren’t just a floor covering – they’re works of art created by hand. These handmade pieces are woven with patience and pride by expert weavers. As a result, they tend to be more expensive than their machine-made counterparts. Genuine handmade rug But how do you know if you’re getting a genuine handmade rug instead of an imitation? There are three things to look for: the fringe, the back and the edge finishing of the rug. Observing these characteristics will help you distinguish between the two.

  There is a lot of confusion about what does and doesn't constitute a "hand-knotted" rug. The main differences are cost and value. Hand Tufted Rugs tend to be less expensive than hand-knotted rugs but don't hold as much heirloom value because they aren't one of a kind.

They have more of a disposable nature and are made to match current trends which can be changed out in a few years.  A "tufting gun" to punch the strands into the canvas In terms of construction, the difference between hand-tufted and hand-knotted rugs is that hand-tufted rugs are made by placing yarn or wool on a canvas stretched over a frame. A textile worker then uses a "tufting gun" to punch the strands into the canvas. This process is not as labor intensive or time-consuming as hand-knotting. The rug then has a protective foundation of either latex glue or cloth placed on...
