As with anything else, when something is hand\u00a0knotted\u00a0it takes many more man hours to complete and this needs to be adequately compensated.<\/p><p>Also, because it is handmade, an authentic oriental rug is more likely to be one of its kind, so you know that you will not find another similar rug anywhere else. You should expect to pay a premium for this kind of uniqueness.<\/p><h2>Weaving hand\u00a0knotted\u00a0rugs<\/h2><p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rugknots.com\/oriental-rug-tips\/buy-a-machine-made-or-a-hand-knotted-oriental-rug\/\">Compare this with machine<\/a>\u00a0made rugs that are available for a much lesser price.<\/p><p>These rugs are usually made from synthetic material and the same design is used to mass produce several rugs. This makes it just another type of floor covering. There is nothing unique or exclusive about these types of rugs.<\/p><p>And because the material used is synthetic, these rugs lack the hardiness and long lasting qualities of their handmade counterparts.<\/p><p>With all of this in mind, the question still remains, should you choose price or quality when looking for an oriental rug?<\/p><p>If you are on a very tight budget, your choices may be limited. Even if you can manage to stretch your budget, should you spend your money on an expensive hand\u00a0knotted\u00a0oriental rug or should you still select a cheaper machine made rug?<\/p><h2>Here are a few things you should take into consideration.<\/h2><p>If you are looking for a rug to use as part of your home d\u00e9cor, you would definitely want something that looks good and feels plush under your feet.
