The term “Oriental rug” is thrown around quite often. This term can refer to several different styles, but Oriental rugs can only truly be classified as such if they are hand-knotted. Hand knotting is an ancient technique that is largely unchanged from the process used today. These beautiful rugs are works of art and draw attention in any room they’re are placed. Because hand-knotted rugs are made with wool and silk, they are very durable, soft, and stain resistant.
The Knots of Hand-Knotted Rugs
There are three main knots used in hand-knotted rugs.
The Persian knot (Senneh knot)
The Persian knot is asymmetrical and open to one side, which leaves fewer gaps and is less bulky than Turkish knots. Persian knots are most commonly used for intricate designs and floral patterns. Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Tibet, and China typically use the Persian knot.
The Turkish knot (Ghiordes knot)
The Turkish knot is symmetrical and leaves two small bumps within each knot on the back of the rug—it ends up looking like a double knot. Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and northern Iran are more likely to use this type of knot.
The Jufti knot
The Jufti knot, or false knot, is tied around four threads instead of two, creating a short cut. The weaver spends less time on a rug when using a Jufti knot, which results in quicker processing time and a lower value and quality.
The number of knots on a hand-knotted rug will determine the value, along with age, design, and material.
