A hand made carpet has a great significance over machine made Carpets not just of the handmade values alone but also much for its texture, durability and other factors.
The basic difference between the two are:
DURABILITY
The lifespan of a carpet is one of the prime factors that has a direct impact on the purchase of a carpet.
One would buy a carpet that is easy to clean and maintain for a longer time.
The
50 years and 100 years old carpets that you find in an antique store
how do you think they survived for a century. Were they machine made?
PRICE
The price of handmade is usually costlier when compared to machine made for
reasons very obvious. It includes a number of materials for the weaving
and of course of 'high labor cost'. Handmade always have an upper hand
over machine made.
Even a square feet of a high-quality handmade carpet may take months to weave.
MAINTENANCE
A
hand made carpet can be cleaned and restored by the service providers
available nearly every corner of every city. Carpets are made in various
qualities and their quality can easily be determined by counting the
number of knots at the back side a carpet. More the number of knots per
square would mean higher the quality of a carpet.
The quality of
machine-made carpet can never be known as its knots cannot be counted on
its backside because it is covered or attached with piece cloth to give
the carpet strength to hold the wool tightly on to it.
VALUE AND IMPACT
A
machine-made carpet for all the reasons mentioned above once bought has
no re-sell value. They look beautiful, but it is, after all, a beauty
made by a machine and not human hands.
Handmade are appreciated worldwide. It is what you see in all the Palaces, in celebrities homes.
Persian Carpets for instance to way extend are like a valuable investment that gives a good return as it gets older.
The
cost of labor is hiking year after tear, so a handmade carpet what one
buys today is certainly of a higher value in the future.
