ORIENTAL RUGS FOR A LIFETIME
...AND GENERATIONS TO COME
For over 2,500 years, oriental rugs have been used in the East by nomads and villagers for warmth and beauty. More recently in the West, they have graced homes with their art and luxury, and go with any decor. An Oriental rug is a purchase for a lifetime and when properly maintained, for generations. The information contained in this brochure offers simple, basic advice for the protection and care of your investment. The Wonders of Wool
Oriental rugs are generally made of wool and are easily and economically maintained. Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently out-perform other materials. Unlike other fibers wool is much more resilient, cleans better and stays clean longer.
How to Purchase an Oriental Carpet We'd be pleased if you wish to buy from us. However, before you buy anywhere, here are some suggestions: - Buy from an established retailer of oriental rugs with a trusted reputation earned through serving the community. Buy from an establishment whose integrity can be verified through recognized trade associations, or check with your local Better Business Bureau.
- Avoid traveling auctions, often held at hotels and airports. They may be here today and gone tomorrow. You should protect yourself by being able to deal with someone on an ongoing basis.
- Beware of "Going-Out-Of-Business" sales, which may be promotional schemes, where values are exaggerated and the quality of the merchandise is mediocre or below average. Also, once out of business there is no one to turn to.
- Be aware that sales with deep discounts like "60%," "70%," "80%," and even "90% OFF" feature high mark-ups to accommodate this kind of discounting. The end result is that you may pay more for less.
Once you have found a carpet that appeals to you, feel free to question the seller about its quality and suitability for the area you have in mind to use the rug. In fact, you should not buy a carpet until you have thoroughly inspected the actual piece or a representative sample for its quality, color, and design. Above all else, you should feel totally comfortable with your selection. Most reputable retailers of oriental rugs will allow you to try a rug at home for a day or so without any obligation of keeping it. They will refund the full purchase price if the rug does not pass its one-day try-out. Look for a retailer with this kind of return policy. A handmade oriental rug will add a unique blend of excitement, mystique, and charm to your home or of fice. Equally important, it is an authentic work of art to be treasured not only during your lifetime but also in that of generations to come. |
