Our antique rugs are produced by one of several flatweaving techniques that have a common or closely related heritage and are practiced in the middle eastern area.
Wool and silk are the primary material used to make our antique rugs. Many antique rugs are made totally from wool where it is used for both warps and wefts, and wool is the primary weft material used with cotton warps, which accounts for the great majority of all eastern rugs. This popularity of wool is due to its inherent qualities. It is supple, durable, handles easily when spun or woven, readily takes on dyes and, most important, is in plentiful supply in kilim-making regions. There are certain breeds of sheep, like the merino, whose fleece is especially sought-after for its special luster and length of fiber, but actually it's the domestic fat-tailed sheep bred is favorable climatic and grazing conditions that provides much of the excellent fleece used in discount antique rugs. Whatever the source, however, it behooves the rug maker to use the best wool available to ensure high quality of a antique rug if it is to be competitive in world markets. It is generally acknowledged by experts that good quality wool is used today in the production of antique rugs of repute, thus ensuring them long life - provided they are properly treated.
The difference between an eastern antique rug and a regular carpet or pile rug is that whereas the design visible on the kilim is made by interweaving the variously colored wefts and warps, thus creating what is known as a flatweave, in a pile rug individual short strands of different color, usually of wool, are knotted onto the warps and held together by pressing the wefts tightly against each other.
