Firstly,look at the pattern of handwoven rug. Each hand woven Silk Rug is an artwork, and the details of the pattern are of worth noting - the color should be harmonious and pleasing, the size of the flower should be the same, the vine line should be delicate, but the overall feeling is more important.Love at first sight, it will be right.
Second,Look at the number of knots.Turn over to the back of the hand knotted rugs and count the number of knots per square centimeter. The denser the knot, the more knots, the better the handwoven carpet quality. Ordinary household hand woven Silk Rugs generally have 57-96 knots per square centimeter, and the top-grade carpets can reach 1076 knots. However, the top grades are generally collected in museums, which are expensive and generally not seen by ordinary people.
Third,look at the materials. Hand knotted carpets are time-consuming and labor-intensive, weaving one rug, and sometimes it takes several months, even several years. Therefore, in the selection of raw materials, it is very careful, generally using silk or wool. Silk can be made into a high-density handmade rug, and wool can only be made into a low-density handmade rug. In the market, the price of handmade wool rugs is generally only two-thirds of the price of Handmade Silk Carpets. However, the wool rugs is thicker and rougher.The Silk Carpet is thinner and more graceful.
Fifth,look at weavers. The best age for women workers who weave handmade Silk Carpets is 35-45 years old. Too young, the knitting technique is not mature enough, and it is inevitable that there will be defects on the carpets. The age is too big, the eyesight and physical strength are falling, the hand strength is not enough, and the perfect carpets cannot be woven. The best weavers who can weave fine silk carpets are mostly 35-45 years old.
Fifth,look at the year.The longer the time, the greater the appreciation space of the handmade silk carpet, and the color of the old handwoven carpets is more charming than the new handwoven carpets. If you have enough budget, buying a century old antique carpet, whether it is collection appreciation or investment, will not let you regret.
Sixth,look at the price. In the past sixty years, hand woven silk weaving has formed a climax in China.Nanyang City,China produced a handwoven silk carpets with high lines, accounting for more than 95% of the world, was exported to Turkey ,Iran and other countries. Then,these handwoven silk carpets from Nanyang used as Persian silk carpets were sold to merchants around the world by Iranian ,Turkish merchants.

The resale price is generally about RMB 120,000-300,000 per square meter.
