Oriental rugs are generally carpets that are knotted using a Pile or may be simply woven rugs. Machine made rugs or rugs woven by anything except by hand are not considered real oriental designed rugs.

Traditionally these rugs are imported by 1800getarug.com from anywhere throughout Asia, from China in the northeast to Turkey in the Mediterranean and offered at low wholesale pricesAbout Silk Pile
Silk Besides its luxurious softness and lustrous beauty, there are various other benefits of silk that other fabrics, whether natural or man-made, simply cannot match. These advantages of silk have rightly earned silk its reputation as the queen of fabrics. Because of its natural protein structure, silk is the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics. An all-climate fabric, silk is warm and cozy in winter and comfortably cool when temperatures rise. Its natural temperature-regulating properties give silk this paradoxical ability to cool and warm simultaneously. In spite of its delicate appearance, silk is relatively robust. Its smooth surface resists soil and odors well. Silk is wrinkle and tear resistant, and dries quickly While silk abrasion resistance is moderate, it is the strongest natural fiber and, surprisingly, it easily competes with steel yarn in tensile strength Silk mixes well with other animal and vegetable fibers.
