Traditionally hand-knotted carpets still represent the highest quality standard of all carpet types. Depending on the type of knot, the carpets are extremely robust and can outlast generations. The finer and tighter a carpet is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual labour and a higher level of experience and skill on the part of the weaver. The knot density therefore also serves as a decisive value factor for hand-knotted carpets.
