What’s the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs?
Hand-knotted rugs have each knot tied to the base, making them reversible and extremely durable—often 20+ years of high traffic. Hand-tufted rugs use a tufting gun to insert pile into a base, then back-coat for stability. They’re durable but not reversible. Hand-tufted is ideal for most residential spaces and is 30–40% more affordable.
