luxury wool rugs uk
The rug market can be a confusing place to navigate. Specialist language on qualities and materials can be hard to decipher, and without the correct knowledge, differentiating between a high and low quality rug by eye is almost impossible. Prices of luxury rugs can vary hugely, and few people really understand what they are paying for. However, at Bazaar Velvet we are here to de-code this complex topic for our clients, so they can find luxury rugs of the perfect fit.
When it comes to rug construction, one of the biggest misconceptions is that all rugs labelled ‘Handmade’ are equal. It’s a loose term that’s often used to distract from an inferior product and doesn’t necessarily mean no machines have been used in production. The way a rug has been made will have a great effect on its appearance and how it wears with use, so it’s important to understand the difference between each. Here’s our breakdown of the different types of rug construction and how to identify them.
Hand knotted luxury rugs epitomise premium quality, and are made using traditional methods dating back hundreds of years. Skilled artisans work on a wooden loom set up using cotton threads know as warps. They knot wool or silk yarns around each thread by hand, following each row with a cotton weft thread to keep the knots in place. The rug then undergoes several stages of hand-finishing, including trimming, washing, binding and stretching. A 300x240cm rug can take over 6 months to complete and will contain over a million hand tied knots.
