	Good handmade wool rugs are not only beautiful, but also so durable that they last for generations, hold their value or even appreciate over time, age beautifully and look prettier with age than when they were new. They are also easy to maintain and clean.
		These qualities make handmade rugs a greater value than any other home furnishing in the amount of beauty they add to any home or office, and the value and incredibly long service they give to their owners. On the left, a Kashan made according to orginal design and color.
	Kilims have become increasingly collectible in themselves over recent years, with quality pieces now commanding high prices. We produce different qualities of kilims that would match any budget, in the meanwhile offering a really beautiful handmade piece of art.
		There are many grades of wool. Generally wool from Newzealand sheep that are from higher altitude areas is finer, the neck and belly area also have finer wool. The wool from young healthy animals is better. Live wool, the only kind we want, is sheared from a live animal, while dead wool is chemically removed from dead animal. The dead wool has no oils and is rough to the touch. For our production, we only consider high grades of live wool.
	If a rug is listed simply as "hand made", make sure you know more about how it was made because hand tufted, or hand hooked rugs are called hand made, but they are not as finely made and durable as the hand knotted or hand woven rugs. So just the "hand made" label is not enough to make your decision. .
		A fine handmade rug will age beautifully and usually appreciate in value over a long period of time. Machine made rugs do not enjoy such longevity or appreciation. On the left is a beautiful Shiraz. Note that a machine made carpet can never achieve that amount of beauty.
