The history of rugs is the history of humankind itself. Since we humans have a natural desire for an atmosphere of coziness around us. Although we don’t have the same inherent need as our ancestors, a similar inclination motivates us today when we put rugs on our floors.

Only during the past century have oriental rugs become valued throughout the world as works of art. Collectors often justify their attraction to these handcrafted oriental rugs by explaining that they wish to own a small piece of the rich and colorful history behind this art form. The works have the ability to transform interiors into extraordinary spaces.

Bent Chair’s Rugs collection is a collision of Hand-knotted and Hand-tufted Rugs. Hand-tufted and knotted by master artisans, the rugs blend exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design with every piece sheared to a smooth pile for an exceptionally soft feel underfoot, beautifully capturing the look of a classic yet contemporary rug enhanced by nuanced tones and patterns.

Hand-Knotted rugs: Hand-knotted rugs are the cream of the crop when it comes to area rugs and carpets. Vertical (warp) threads are tied onto the loom — these threads are what will eventually become the fringe of the rug. The weft then runs horizontally, intertwining with the vertical threads to create the foundation of the rug. The knots are tied to the warp threads, cut, and then tied again to secure the knot. This is further sub-categorized into three: The Persian knotted rugs, a commemorative to the art that traces back to 18th Century bookbinding, this collection is an attempt to bring to life, the glory of gold embossing on linen. While our classic Turkish knotted rugs embrace the exotic flavor of the country’s rich traditions, textures, and styles. The Turkish knot is symmetrical and can be identified by two small bumps within one knot on the back the rug-making it looks like a double knot. Tibetan Knotted Rugs, updated oriental takes over the traditional pattern with cleaned-up intricate detailing of the soft wool yarns, hand-knotted by Bent Chair’s skilled artisans.

Hand-Tufted Rugs: The process for creating a hand-tufted rug differs greatly. It is made by punching strands of wool into a canvas that is stretched on a frame with the help of a hand-operated tool. This process is not very time-intensive and does not require the same level of skill that hand-knotting does. Traditional motifs in complementary colors are finished in the Tufted Rugs collection. Old world styling and modish hues make this a swank choice in luxury rugs.
