RUG WEAVING AND CHILD LABOR
 Rug Weaving and Child Labor.... Since the 1920's we've traveled regularly to weaving areas throughout the Middle East. These days we make two or three month-long trips each year. There are two basic reasons for all this travel on our part: The nearer we get to the loom, the less we pay for the rug. By traveling to the weaving village we get to see exactly who is making the rug, and we have the chance to inspect the quality of the materials they're using. In many ways, this second reason is more... - http://www.jacobsenrugs.com/labor.htm 14/09/2004 - Category: Culture - More from this publisher

IS THAT A MACHINE-MADE RUG?
 Is That a Machine-made Rug? This page is intended to help you tell the difference between a handmade Oriental rug and a machine-made imitation. This discussion concerns only rugs made with 100% wool as the pile material: If a rug has a nap of polypropolene, polyolefin, or a nap made of a blend of synthetic polymers and wool, it is all but certainly a machine-made rug. If a rug is identified as "a Belgium Oriental," or as having been made in Belgium, Italy, or elsewhere in western Euro... - http://www.jacobsenrugs.com/m-made.htm 14/09/2004 - Category: Basics - More from this publisher

ORIENTAL RUG MARKETING PLOYS
 Abusive Oriental Rug Marketing Ploys This 1950's advertising piece promises rugs at "Less Than Cost... the lowest price in the history of the rug business."

IS YOUR SILK RUG REALLY SILK?
 Is Your Silk Oriental Rug Made of Real Silk? We don't mean to be alarmist, but we sometimes see "silk" Oriental rugs that are made of something other than genuine, natural silk. This is not a problem if you know that the rug you are considering is made of artificial silk, but sometimes rug dealers neglect to pass on this information! The problem happens most often with just a few rug types sold in tourist markets in Turkey and India (and sometimes in Pakistan). Real Silk Real silk is ... - http://www.jacobsenrugs.com/silk-rug.htm 14/09/2004 - Category: Basics - More from this publisher

ORIENTAL RUGS: TERMS AND TERMINOLOGY
 Oriental Rug Terminology.... This page will help you understand the terms used to describe Oriental rugs. The Parts of an Oriental Rug.... Warps are the parallel strings stretched from loom beam to loom beam upon which rows of knots are tied. Most weavers use cotton for warp material if it is available because it is easier to weave a flat, straight rug on cotton warps than on wool warps (wool yarn is more elastic than cotton string, and is more affected by changes in humidity). Weavers who are ... - http://www.jacobsenrugs.com/terms.htm 14/09/2004 - Category: Basics - More from this publisher

WASHED AND PAINTED ORIENTAL RUGS
 Just What Is a "Washed and Painted" Oriental Rug? The first widespread interest in Oriental rugs in the United States occurred after World War I, in the 1920's. There was a great deal of money made as the US industrialized before the War, and even more as businesses geared up for war production (these were the days before a personal income tax!).
