If you\u2019ve seen a rug that\u2019s available in different sizes or it\u2019s available to buy in bulk, this is a red flag.<br><br>Your Oriental rug should be a unique piece. This individuality is a big part of its attraction. If there are multiple identical rugs available, it\u2019s unlikely that they\u2019ve been made according to tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A lack of symmetry is a sign of quality<br><br>If you\u2019re shopping by modern standards, you might see a lack of symmetry as a \u201cflaw\u201d in a rug. However, when it comes to Oriental rugs, it\u2019s a good sign that they are <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/authentic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">authentic<\/a>.<br><br>When a rug is handmade, its design will always be somewhat uneven. It\u2019s almost impossible for a human being to create a perfectly mirrored design. Machines can achieve this, though.<br><br>Look for irregularities and imperfections before you buy an <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/oriental-rugs\">Oriental rug<\/a> if you care that it\u2019s genuine.<br><\/li><li>The fringe should be a continuation of the rug<br><br>Oriental rugs can be identified by their fringe borders; however, some machine-made rugs now have sewn-on fringe borders in an attempt to replicate their iconic look.<br><br>The best way to determine if yours is real or machine-made is to check the back. If the fringe is formed from the end of the warp yarns, making it an integral element of the rug, then this is an authentic Oriental rug.<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blog-6-How-to-Identify-Oriental-Rugs-2-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blog-6-How-to-Identify-Oriental-Rugs-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blog-6-How-to-Identify-Oriental-Rugs-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blog-6-How-to-Identify-Oriental-Rugs-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blog-6-How-to-Identify-Oriental-Rugs-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Blog-6-How-to-Identify-Oriental-Rugs-2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Check the structure of the knots<br><br>On the underside of a genuine Oriental rug, you\u2019ll be able to see how the individual knots have been formed. From this detail, you can determine the method that was used to create the rug and whether this reflects the ancient artisan tradition of Oriental rugs.<br><br>Again, look for the irregularities that confirm your rug was made by hand. If it looks completely regular, as though it was made by a machine, then it probably was!<br><\/li><li>Verify the materials used<br><br>Traditional Oriental rugs use natural materials exclusively. You can expect them to be made from wool, cotton, or even silk, if they\u2019re very high quality.<br><br>Although machine-made rugs can also use natural materials, they usually incorporate synthetic fibers to some degree. This is usually the case on the back of the rug. If the reverse of a rug is synthetic, this shows it was made industrially and not by artisans.<br><\/li><li>Measure the thickness of the pile<br><br>The thickness of an Oriental rug is also an indicator of its authenticity and value. Because we often think of a thick pile as luxurious, you may be surprised to learn that thinner <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/hand-knotted-rugs\" title=\"hand-knotted rugs\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">hand-knotted rugs<\/a> are considered higher quality. This is because these rugs require greater skill to manufacture.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the best way to ensure your Oriental rug is authentic is to buy it from a reputable vendor.
