Please note that what is referred to as an Oriental rug will have to be made by hand. Machine-made rugs with Persian or oriental patterns are reproductions and should not be considered as "Oriental rugs". Most of Oriental or Persian rugs have a foundation (warp and weft) of cotton and a pile of wool. After each single row of knots are tied according to a plan or a cartoon, either one or two shots of weft will be inserted over them and packed down with a special tool called "DAFEH". When the whole project is accomplished, the rug will be cut off the loom, washed, shaved with another special tool, and stretched to make the rug lay flat on the floor. Salvage binding to the sides and chain stitching to the ends will give the rug a nice finish. Of course, there are rugs with a silk or wool foundation as well. In a rug with wool foundation, the pile is always wool as well. However, in a rug with a silk foundation, the pile can be just wool, pure silk, or a combination of wool and silk. I hope this answers your question.
