Hand loomed area rugs are made on a loom with anywhere from one or more people depending on the size of the rug.  As opposed to a hand knotted rug with could take anywhere from six to twelve months to finish, a hand loomed rug will only take one to three days to finish, making them a great option at a more attractive price point.

There are several ways to spot the differences between a hand loomed area rug versus the other types of rugs they try to emulate.  With today’s new manufacturing techniques, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to discern the differences between the method the area rug was made.  Our staff here at Lawrence of La Brea would be more than happy to assist you with any questions you may have and how to become an expert at spotting the differences!
