Frequently Asked Questions
-
Hand knotted rugs represent a superior investment compared to machine-made alternatives. With proper care, these textiles appreciate in value over time and can serve your family for multiple generations. The knot density, natural materials, and artisan craftsmanship ensure durability that far exceeds mass-produced options.
-
Afghan wool is sourced from sheep raised at elevations above 3,000 meters, resulting in exceptionally high lanolin content. This natural oil provides inherent luster, stain resistance, and resilience. The highland climate produces longer, stronger fibers that create textiles with superior durability and a distinctive hand feel.
-
With appropriate care, hand knotted rugs with 100-400 knots per square inch will last 75-150 years in residential settings. Many antique examples in museum collections are 200-300 years old and remain structurally sound. The longevity depends on knot density, wool quality, and maintenance practices.
-
Yes, we provide white-glove delivery throughout Greater Boston, including Newton, Wellesley, Brookline, Cambridge, Lexington, Concord, and the North Shore. Each rug is professionally packaged and delivered with care appropriate to its value. We also offer in-home placement consultation for local clients.
-
Oushak rugs originate from Anatolia and feature softer color palettes with muted tones and gentle abrash. Persian rugs typically display more saturated colors and intricate curvilinear designs. Oushak weavers use a symmetrical Turkish knot, while Persian artisans employ an asymmetrical Persian knot. Both traditions produce museum-quality textiles.
-
Vacuum weekly using a suction-only setting without beater bars. Rotate the rug every 6-12 months to ensure even wear. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth. Professional cleaning by a specialist in hand knotted textiles is recommended every 3-5 years, depending on traffic levels.
-
Yes, we welcome private viewings by appointment for Boston-area collectors. This allows you to examine the knot density, wool quality, and color palette in your own lighting conditions. We can also arrange in-home trials for select pieces to ensure the rug complements your interior.
-
For living rooms, the rug should extend 18-24 inches beyond the front legs of your seating arrangement. Dining rooms require rugs that extend 24-30 inches beyond the table on all sides to accommodate pulled-out chairs. Bedrooms typically use 8x10 or 9x12 rugs with 18-24 inches visible on three sides of the bed.
