Rug quality
If the name of the maker and the name of the quality are on the fabric, and the price is plainly marked, you know exactly what you are getting. You will probably find, if you shop around, that prices are about the same in all the reputable stores. Your eyes and your fingers are the best tools in judging quality. Whether a machine-made fabric is a Wilton or an Axminster is of no importance. People used to believe that a velvet was cheap and generally undesirable, but some of the best and most expensive plain carpet made is the velvet weave. Axminster looms are used for the finest Oriental reproductions as well as for some shoddy cheap rugs. Good Wiltons are, as they always have been, very durable, but a cheap Wilton will not give you the service that a good velvet or Axminster will. So disregard weaves and judge your floorcovering with your eyes and your finger. |
