Hand-Knotted Rugs: Where Tradition Meets Luxury

Hand-knotted floor coverings have a rich history dating back thousands of years, originating in ancient civilisations where nomadic tribes and settled communities wove textiles. This ancient technique involves skilled artisans meticulously tying each individual knot by hand, using time-honoured methods passed down through generations. The result is not merely functional decor but a treasured heirloom that carries narratives of perseverance, craftsmanship, and artistic expression.

Hand-knotted carpets continue to fascinate modern homeowners with their rich history and artistry. Each knot tied by trained artisans reveals a narrative of dedication and artistry, transforming each rug into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that adds character and dimension to any area. At Rugshop, we honour this legacy by offering hand-knotted silk rugs and hand-knotted wool floor coverings that embody the perfect blend of tradition and luxury.

Our hand-picked collection of hand-knotted carpets at Rugshop showcases a variety of knotting techniques, each contributing to the unique beauty and durability of the rugs. Here are the three main types of knots you will find in our collection:

Persian Knots (Senneh Knots)

Persian knots, also called Senneh knots, are asymmetric knots or double knots that are used for rugs with very fine detailing. The knot might be wrapped in either direction and is said to be open either to the left or to the right. This technique is unique to Persian rug-making and is recognised for both its accuracy and its capacity to create elaborate patterns with outstanding clarity. It is widely used throughout Iran, Central Asia, India, China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Turkish Knots (Ghiordes Knots)

Turkish knots, or Ghiordes knots, are symmetrical in pattern and known for their strength. It is primarily utilised by Anatolian and Caucasian textile communities in Turkey. It is also used by some Turkish and Kurdish communities in Iran. This type of knotting technique results in a thicker, more robust rug that can withstand extreme use. Turkish knots are prominent in many old rug-making locales, and they are valued for their mix of beauty and endurance.

Jufti Knots

Jufti knots are distinguished for their rapid and efficient weaving. It is widely utilised in Iran's Khorasan area. This approach enables faster manufacturing with fewer knots while maintaining the rug's overall resilience. Jufti-knotted carpets provide a good combination of quality and price, which makes them an excellent option for people looking for grandeur on a budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hand-Knotted Rugs

Hand-knotted carpets are made by tying individual knots onto warp threads, creating a dense, intricate design. Handwoven rugs, on the other hand, are often created utilising techniques such as flat-weaving or kilim, where yarns are woven directly onto a loom without tying knots.

The quality of a floor covering isn’t determined solely by the knot type. Both Persian and Turkish knots have their merits based on the design and intended use of the rug. However, what matters most is the skill of the artisan and the overall craftsmanship.

Simply look at the back of the floor covering. If you see the same pattern on both sides, it’s likely to be hand-knotted. You may even notice irregularities in the knots and fringe that are indicative of hand craftsmanship.
