What Makes an Oriental Rug a Good Investment?

A hand-knotted Oriental rug doesn’t just offer unique beauty for your home and tie a room together, but it can be a financial investment that can be passed down to your family. A rug which is made and taken care of with great attention and care doesn’t just retain value, but can often increase value over time.

Higher Quality Rugs Last Longer

When considering an Oriental rug as an investment, there are a few things to look at. First and foremost, examine the quality of the wool and the knots. The better the quality, the longer the rug will last. Additionally, trust your eyes! If the rug is aesthetically pleasing, with vibrant colors and fascinating patterns, it will retain its value well.
