Conventional wisdom says that interior home decorating should begin with an Oriental rug. There are plenty of choices in colors and materials to choose from a rug and a carpet well chosen and well cared for, probably will last much longer than anything else in the room. In the olden days, Persian rugs or kilims from Iran were to be the best carpets, but now find that other eastern countries like India, Nepal, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, China and Turkey have been making carpets that have equaled or exceeded the quality of Persia.
Before heading out to buy an Oriental rug, it would be appropriate to spend some time thinking about the size and color you prefer. You can even take some pictures of his room to help you decide. There a lot of colors and designs to choose. Then you have to decide on the amount you are willing to spend on the purchase. The price of an Oriental rug depends on the following factors:
• Country from which
• Age
• Condition
• Quality
• The demand for design
Counting the nodes of an Oriental rug is not the only or most important to do. A geometrically designed carpet could have less than 100 knots in one square inch, but a very detailed floral pattern may have more than 300 pairs. Despite the regularity and tightness of the carpet are very important, the quality of wool checks the resistance and longevity of the carpet. And do not forget to take into account the quality and color fastness of the dyes used.
Besides, the price of an Oriental rug could also be decided by the prevailing fashion design and color. About 50 years ago, orange, brown and green colors were considered hot, but that not the case today. The condition of the carpets and age affect the value of second-hand carpets. Age will increase the value of the carpets, if they have been well managed, but if not, wear and stains will reduce the value.
The best carpets are always made from natural fibers with wool, silk and cotton is the most common and most popular silk as well as expensive. Wool is the most popular material used to make Persian rugs or kilims because of its intrinsic – Wool is long lasting, flexible, easy to dye and can be woven or spun easily. Furthermore, wool is readily available in areas where they make the Persian rugs or kilims from finding a large number of nomads tending sheep there.
A fascinating thing of Persian carpets and kilims is that you can deduct what tribe carpet wine based solely on the type of wool and dyes used. Some wool is wanted even more than the rest, as it gives a glow to certain Persian rugs or kilims.
Cabos are commonly made of cotton as its high resistance helps maintain the shape. In addition to maintaining its natural white color over time. Another reason is that cotton can be turned in the best threads. Hair of camels, goats and horses is often a demand for Persian rugs or kilims to produce unique effects. Camel hair can be used to give a wool blanket, while an additional force of horse hair tassels can give striking. When mixed with wool, goat hair produces a silky sheen. Silk has always been considered a luxury material for silk rugs are rare, though perhaps still be produced. Often are included in the dowry of the bride, along with oriental rugs and other treasured as part of the wealth of the family.
