Hand-knotted rugs usually come from Iran (Persian rug) or surrounding countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan or India (Oriental rugs). They are made of natural materials such as wool and cotton. Machine-knotted rugs are often made of (partly) synthetic materials. In addition, a hand-knotted rug takes much more time to make. Knotting is a time-consuming, intensive job that can take years to finish one large rug. The thousands of knots are human work, which means that there are errors in the rug - another difference that you do not see with a machine-knotted rug. These can sometimes be spotted at the bottom of the rug, for example certain small elements that are not exactly symmetrical. This makes each rug unique and of high quality!
