We use environmentally friendly, biodegradable materials only.


At the Artisans of the Loom, we treat every handmade area rug individually
by examining its style (knotted carpet, kilim, French Savonnerie, Aubusson, Tapestry), origin (Turkish, Persian, Chinese, Indian, Caucasian, Moraccan, etc), material (wool, silk, cotton etc.), dyes (natural vegetable, artificial chemical), age (new, antique) and condition. Cleaning is done by hand as should be to avoid the risk of wear and color runs. A handmade rug is meant to last for centuries and we'll try and make sure it does.
