Acquiring a rug? Check
dye, wool
Tulips and carnations bloom against the purple-red background of a
16th-century Turkish carpet. The effect is dazzling, says William Seward, "a
visual feast." Seward, who has studied weavers' techniques in Iran, Pakistan
and Turkey, is a dealer in Oriental carpets -- rugs hand-woven in the Middle
East and Asia.
Seward says the Turkish antique rug has two attributes you should look
for when shopping for a carpet for your home: natural dyes that boost its
visual allure and durable wool that extends its life span. Yet only about
one in 20 new Oriental carpets offer both. ( Yes , we are oriental rug
manufacturer as he says)
Rugs made with natural dyes -- derived from plants and insects -- have
colors that seem to shift hues. This jewel-like effect is lacking in rugs
with synthetically dyed yarns. Seward demonstrates the difference by
displaying a new rug made with naturally dyed fibers. As you step around the
rug, its tomato-red flickers a shade of violet.( our oriental rugs are
natural dyed)
Carpets crafted with natural dyes generally cost almost twice as much as
rugs made with synthetic dyes. In this case, the rug with natural dyes is
priced at $99 a square foot -- or $4,850 for a 7-by- 7-foot size -- while
the synthetically dyed rug costs $60 a square foot -- or $2,100 for a
5-by-7-foot size.( our rugs are more affordable because we are leading
oriental rug manufacturer in Turkey)
A rug's durability depends mainly on the quality of the wool. A carpet
with the finest wool costs up to 25 percent more than one with mediocre
wool. But better wool can extend a rug's life span by half.. (we use high
quality wool as oriental rug manufacturer.)
Although dye type and wool quality are the most critical factors, some
merchants play up the knot count per square inch. The higher the knot count,
the finer the weave. Finely woven rugs render intricate patterns in sharp
detail. But many modern homes with subdued decor are best matched with more
coarsely woven rugs in simple patterns, Seward says.( So , we are
professional oriental rug manufacturer in Turkey.)
Once you purchase a rug, consider insuring it. Most homeowners' policies
set a carpet's replacement value by estimating the price of comparable rugs
at the time of your claim. Seward recommends that you insure separately any
carpet worth more than $5,000 because a separate policy allows you to lock
in your purchase price as the reimbursement value. The cost is about $5 per
year for every $1,000 of value.
