A Hand-knotted rug, also referred to as Oriental rug. It is a rug that is made entirely by hand on a vertical loom. Knotting is a highly specialised 2,000 year old craft  of weaving requiring remarkable precision, patience and craftsmanship.The method itself requires the weaver to insert knots into the rug and tie each knot tightly by hand around the warp and weft of the rug. These rugs are composed of many thousands of individual knots.Weaving a hand-knotted rug requires a great deal of skill and often a lot of time to produce. The quality and cost of a hand-knotted rug is determined by the number of knots per square inch.
