AREA RUGS Cary and Raleigh NC

Authentic oriental rugs are hand-made works of art dating back thousands of years. Area rugs add warmth and beauty and bring interest and luxury to any room in the house.

Oriental rugs were originally made of wool and silk fibers and hand-knotted. Over time, advanced technologies have evolved to deliver the beauty of authentic oriental area rugs but with more design options and durability.

Types of Area Rugs:

• Hand-Knotted Area Rugs
  Traditional hand-knotted rugs are made with wool or silk and usually finished with a special luster wash for softness and shine. The might also come with a fringe. Because hand-knotted rugs take the longest time to make, they are the most expensive are rugs. But hand-knotted area rugs allow for the most flexibility in design and color placement. ^ Back to top
