Rug Constructions

Hand-knotted rugs

Hand-knotted rugs are the finest constructed of all area rugs. They are unmatched in quality, clarity of color, design and details. Being made by hand, every hand-knotted rug is a unique piece of decorative art. While also among the most costly area rugs, the quality of materials (often pure wool accented with silk or viscose highlights) and impeccable craftsmanship make them incredibly durable and a centerpiece of room decor that will last for many years.

Hank Loomed

Hand Loomed rugs are made using a wooden vertical-shaft loom that is powered by hand or foot. Warp threads are manually passed through the weft threads and secured by a heddle, which is used to deparate the warp threads so that the weft can pass through. Hand loomed rugs are made with detailed attention to detail, down to the painstaking process of shedding the rug. Included here are our selection of hand woven rugs, many of which can also be considered flatweaves.

Hand Tufted Rugs

Hand tufted rugs (also called hand made) are produced by punching individual yarns through a fabric sheet using a device called a “tufting gun”. Once the rug has been completed a second fabric is glued to the back to hold the yarns in place. Hand tufted rugs required more time to produce, generally contain higher quality materials and can be more detailed. Hand-tufted rugs tend to be thicker floor coverings with the cotton backing adding a cushion-soft feel underfoot.
