Tips For Shopping

If you’re a greenhorn (yeah, everyone is at the outset!), then you’ll probably end up making a few mistakes when you first start shopping. But, let me tell you this, everyone goes wrong in the beginning and it is from these experiences that you actually do learn. But here are a few pointers for you.

• Beware of cheap deals: Yup, you read that right! Cheap deals, especially when it comes to antiques spell trouble in capitals. Chances are, you’re going to end up buying a fake and you’ll actually be paying a hell of a lot more for it than it is worth! You should actually be on the lookout for someone who has been selling antique rugs for a long time.

• Knots Per square inch: This is a great way of identifying the quality of the threadwork. If it’s actually an antique piece, then it will have pretty high knots per square inch. However, there are always exceptions like Oushak rugs.

• Beware of Machine Made rugs:  If the rug looks way too perfect, then it’s not hand woven my friend, it’s been made with the help of a machine. Small mistakes here and there help to identify antique rugs!

• Certificate of Authenticity: If you are looking to buy the real deal, then what you need is a certificate of authenticity. This will actually be something that you have as proof that you have indeed made a good purchase and have not merely been tricked. If your dealer can’t give you a certificate, no matter how beautiful and authentic the rug may look, chances are, it’s a fake!
