Antique Carpets

Rugs
and carpets have a long life. The ancient rugs made by the expert craftsmen
of the by gone era were more durable with an unmatched originality and
beauty. And as the saying goes the older the rug, the better it is. These
are a few reasons why the antique carpets are still in demand.
The antique carpets may not always be in perfect condition. They may have
reparative work done on them or may be very dirty. The few things that need
to be kept in mind are that either the rug is not damaged much or have been
corrected in the proper manner. If they are too dirty one may get it cleaned
by the vendor himself.
Knotting may play an important part in selection but certain experts
believe that the quality of design, colors and material matter more than the
knots psi. Apart from the piles and knots one must check on the strength and
the structure of the foundation. Antique carpets can be used as mere
decorative or for the purpose of floor covering.
