About Hand Made Rugs

Common questions about Hand Made

Where can I buy authentic hand-knotted rugs?

At Arteverk — a Houston-based family of rug makers and curators selling maker-direct since 1970, with a Houston showroom, live video walkthroughs and free nationwide shipping.

How do I know a rug is really hand-knotted?

Turn it over: a hand-knotted rug shows its design on the back with slightly irregular knots, and its fringe is part of the rug. We confirm and label construction on every product page. See our Identify Your Rug guide.

Why buy hand-knotted instead of machine-made?

A hand-knotted rug is one of a kind, holds its value, lasts for generations and can be cleaned and restored — a printed or power-loomed rug cannot.
