Imported Handmade Rugs Add Finesse To Your Home Décor By: Hans Saghaei
Nothing can add a distinct touch of finesse and sophistication to a home’s décor more than specially imported handmade rugs. Made from the finest materials and carefully woven with master craftsmanship, handmade rugs can create a decidedly warm and personalized ambience to any part of your home, be it in the living room, bedroom, dining room or foyer area.

Stocked with hundreds of intricate designs, patterns and sizes, Rug Firm offers a wide variety of imported handmade rugs made by established and experienced weavers from all over the world.
Imported Handmade Rugs - Uniqueness and Originality
No two imported handmade rugs are exactly the same. Unlike machine sewn or commercially produced rugs, handmade Persian and Oriental rugs are carefully knotted, often requiring long painstaking labor. An area rug about five inches by eight inches in size for example, takes a master weaver about a year to complete. Similarly, a larger rug that measures approximately 10 inches by 20 inches can take a group of weavers a few years of hard work and commitment.
Each rug carries a label that stamps the rich tradition of a weaver’s lineage of carpet weaving craftsmanship. Persian rugs for example, display motifs, colors and patterns that represent the historical and cultural heritage of the great ancient empire that has flourished for three centuries; they also tell the stories of men and women who have cultivated the extraordinary carpet craftsmanship of their culture.
A Persian or Oriental handmade rug is not only a furnishing in one’s home it is also likened to an antique that increases in value over time. Some rugs have been passed from generations to generations as precious heirlooms in the family. They are woven from the finest materials with unparalleled craftsmanship of a unique era, culture or locality.
Quality Handmade Rugs – Classy and Chic Wool Area Rugs
Wool rugs are the best choices, when opting for rugs that are strong, durable and stylish. The soft and lush material enhances the cozy and warmth ambience of your living room.
