But What Is A Handmade Silk Rug? … A perfect handmade rug is not only beautiful but also so durable compared to any other rugs and last for generations, holds value or even appreciates over time, ages beautifully and look prettier with age than when they were new. This item is described as ‘Silk on Silk’ but how do you Identify A Real Silk Oriental Rug With all these artificial fibers around, how can you accurately identify a rug woven with natural silk? First of all, pay attention to whatever clues the dealer–or the rug–gives you. For instance, there many artificial ‘so called’ silk Kayseri rugs (and some Hereke rugs), both Turkish types. In Turkey, a real silk Kayseri is an ipek Kayseri: ipek is "silk" in Turkish. An artificial silk Kayseri is a flos Kayseri ( a yun Kayseri has a wool pile). A seller might be accurately describing the piece to you as a flos rug, but by not explaining the difference between flos and ipek, you may jump to the intended assumption, and you unwittingly buy an artificial silk rug. We don't mean to be alarmist, but I have seen "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 sellers neglect to pass on this information! These handmade rugs are made manually by hand using all traditional technique by experienced artisans...keep it alive, buy only hand made rugs.
