You will find on Tapis-chic.com carpets of all styles for all decoration desires! Modern carpets, design and trends in various materials and colors. But also, in price ranges accessible to all budgets. So how do you determine the price of a rug? We will explain everything to you!
We suggest a handmade 5x8 size rugs for sale to go under a coffee table and to just have the front legs of your furniture on top of the rug. Good for rooms with a smaller seating area. We suggest with an 8x10 that at least half the depth of your furniture sits on the rug.
1- Its composition: natural or synthetic material?
Modern rugs can be made from natural materials, such as wool, cotton or even leather. Or in synthetic materials, such as acrylic or polyester. A rug made from 100% natural material will be more expensive than a synthetic fiber rug. And beware, not all yarns are created equal.
In ascending order of quality, we find wool and then pure virgin wool (from the shearing of sheep without treatment). In the same way, the origin of the wool influences the final cost of the carpet. Thus, the wools of Ireland and Scotland are very famous for their resistance.
It is important to differentiate between these 3 great wools of superior quality:
– New Zealand wool is a wool of constant quality, of exceptional whiteness and particularly robust. This wool comes from sheep.
– Bikaner wool is an Indian wool from the highlands in the north of the country. It takes its name from the small town in which it is woven. Bikaner wool is a high quality wool regularly used in the manufacture of woven or handmade wool rugs for sale.
– Merino wool is a particularly delicate and soft wool. This wool is lighter and finer than a human hair. It is taken from sheep of the Merino breed.
2- Its density: the gram mage of the carpet is very important in determining its price.
Carpet density is measured in grams per m². The higher the density, the thicker and therefore softer, warmer and more durable the rug will be. The higher the density, the tighter the bristles. This density gives your rug great resistance over time.
To give you an idea, the average gram mage of a carpet is 3500 grams/m² but depending on the materials and the method of manufacture it can vary from less than 1kg/m² to more than 6kgs/m² for high end rugs. If ever the gram mage is not specified, remember that the heavier a carpet is, the higher its quality (and therefore the higher its price will be).
3- A hand-tufted rug
is a rug made on the basis of a textile support, on which the desired pattern has been drawn beforehand. Unlike hand-knotted, hand-tufted is done on a horizontal support. The strands of wool, silk, bamboo or viscose are then introduced one by one on this support using a gun. This method makes it possible to obtain a rug manufactured with minute precision and therefore of high quality, with very precise patterns and an almost infinite number of colors.
4- Its complexity: you have to know how to put the price for a long and meticulous work.
Not all handmade rugs are classic and plain. They may request additional work. This additional work will also help determine the price of a rug. At Tapis Chic, we offer products like this handmade kirman rugs for sale from the Line Pure range. This rug features a harmonious blend of colors and embossed patterns. These designs represent “pebbles” worked directly into the wool with viscose.
5- Its transport: the carpets do not yet know how to fly!
The pandemic we have experienced has had serious consequences on international maritime transport (difficulty finding containers and boats departing from India, modified maritime routes, access to ports and more complex customs formalities, etc.). https://qaleen.com/
