Rugs were once prized as status symbols, a sign of elegance and refinement that proved one’s wealth. Since Marco Polo introduced them to Europe in the 13th century, they have been appreciated by individuals ranging from emperors and queens to the great artists of the Renaissance and later by the wealthy of all classes. Today, discerning homeowners are re-discovering the true merit of rugs and how they complement our homes.
A broad stylistic designation that refers to patterns rooted in either Oriental/Persian or classic European schools. In new rugs, these designs are often reproduced in colors that replicate antique rugs.
The tufts of yarn that form the pile are held in place by weft threads, which run lengthwise across the width of the rug. The twisted fibers of these threads must be neat and tight to provide enhanced durability and delineated design.
Unlike cut pile rugs, which are woven as they are constructed, loop pile rugs are woven as a whole and then trimmed afterward to produce their final shape and size. Loop pile rugs are a durable choice for high traffic areas and are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and construction methods.
A euphemism for the chemical treatment of woolen rugs that tones down their colors, dulls their whites and makes them shiny, all of which is intended to emulate the effect of ageing. Although this process undoubtedly enhances the appearance of a rug, it is not favored by purists who believe that the true beauty of a rug should be allowed to emerge naturally over time.
