Those who are particular about the way their homes look cannot ignore the beauty of oriental rugs. Everyone desires to find the best oriental rugs for their homes that also fit their style and budget. Given here is information about oriental rugs and things you should consider before making a purchase.

Knot Type and Size:
Knot type and size of the rug is an important aspect when determining the quality of the rug’s construction. The more knots per square does not mean the rug is more durable, however, a proper knot type and size is an important determining factor. When you consider knot size, the more important consideration is the wool-density and how knots are tied.

Age of the Rugs:
The age of the rug determines its quality. The nature of the limited supply in an old unusual handmade rug is important when considering the rug’s value. An older rug is generally higher in value due to the age and unique qualities of the rug.

Country of Origin:
Whether you want to buy new or antique rugs, the country of origin is especially important. Antique rugs have different values and the country of origin has an impact on the value of antique rugs as well. It is important to know the origin of a rug. If it was made by a particular tribe, village, or region, it is probably more sought after and therefore, more expensive.

Dyes Used:
Natural dyes are preferred consistently over the synthetic chromium dyes because they are naturally beautiful. When rugs are dyed using natural dyes, the colors begin to appear less intense and more saturated. Added labor, scarcity of the experts, and knowledge add value to the rugs that have been woven with naturally dyed wools.

To better determine the quality and durability of an oriental rug, feel of it. If it is loosely woven it will feel weak and flimsy. Make sure to know the quality of an Oriental rug before you purchase one.

Particular care is to be taken for cleaning oriental rugs. It is good to hire a professional for getting your rugs cleaned thoroughly because a professional rug cleaner is well-equipped with the right resources and are well trained.
