Authenticity

How to Tell an Authentic Handmade Oriental Rug

A few terms are employed to convey the degree of authenticity of a rug. Authentic rugs are hand-woven with at least three key components: handspun wool, organic vegetable dyes, and traditional hand-knotting methods characteristic of their region. These hand-knotted pieces represent genuine historical pedigree.

In contrast, machine-made rugs or those utilizing synthetic backing materials lack the longevity, breathability, and aesthetic value of handmade carpets. Mo Nooraee provides certified appraisals to document your rug's authenticity and historical value.
