Buyer's Guide To Antique Oriental Rugs
by Sofia Okuda
If you are buying antique oriental rugs and not sure how to guarantee that it is genuine, this guide is for you. This will present some tips on how to make sure you do not get ripped off by a fake. Also it will look at some of the other things to keep in mind when you are shopping for these most lush, rich and beautiful designs.
All the truly valuable wool oriental rugs are handmade. No matter what anybody might tell you there are no exceptions to this rule. Therefore testing to see if the rug being sold is handmade is essential and you should under no circumstances purchase anything without first running this simple test. It is not as difficult as you would imagine either.
Any expert will be able to spot the difference between the machine made rug and the genuine article. A handmade piece takes up to a year of work to produce while the machine woven variety is shot off in about a 5 minutes. The difference becomes clear over the course of its life span and so detecting it early is key.
The durability of the real type means it actually increases in price each year. Like a wine or a great piece of art, age genuinely strengthens it and so it's both a good investment and a fantastic piece of home furnishing. The machine made type will wear and tear and, thus, can only decrease in value. The need to test the product is, therefore, clear.
One quick test to check the veracity of a rug is to turn it right side down on a flat floor. The underside of the piece should show the same pattern as the face, with the same level of clarity. If you can't see it or can only make it out dully, then it is not a real piece. It doesn't matter how nice a rug it is, it will not increase in value if it does not pass this test.
If the rug you are inspecting does pass that test then you need to check its roots. Do this by bending the piece back upon itself and looking closely at the material. You want to see knots woven into the roots - if you can than buy it. It is a real handmade cover. If you are shopping online then doing this test will be impossible before you buy. Make sure you have month's guarantee so you can run it at home and send the product back if it is not as advertised.
Don't get sold a counterfeit when you purchase antique oriental rugs. Run these quick tests. Then you can purchase, safe in the knowledge that your rug will increase in value.
