High quality carpets are different from normal rugs for their specific and rare characteristics, such as the handmade knotting and the precious fabrics used. In this article we’ll explain which factors more influence the carpet rating and the problems related to the appraisal.

First of all we recommend you to collect the most information you can about the world of carpets. It’s fundamental to have this precise knowledge in order to proceed with the evaluation of both modern and antique masterpieces.25

Morandi’s modern and contemporary carpets are all hand knotted and they come from different oriental regions. In this territories the knotting is a deeply-rooted tradition and a lot of high quality manufactures have been realized. In this collection you’ll find many masterpieces by famous artists and designers (Marco Nereo Rotelli, Jan Kath, Daniela Marchetti etc) but also Indian and Pakistan masters who made the beautiful Samsung and River artworks. Modern carpets are perfect for the living room, dining room, open space, loft, bedroom but also in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

How the Contemporary and Modern Carpets Evaluation is Done?

This process is generally harder than the antique rugs rating.

If the contemporary carpet is authentic and hand knotted the evaluation is based on the same criteria of antique oriental rugs: basically the knot’s quality and the accuracy of weft and warp.

These technical aspects should be followed by an aesthetic analysis which on the contrary is personal and not universally shared. In general we can say that the rug’s drawing has to be artistically valuable and appropriate to the room’s furnishing style.

How to Identify the Carpet’s Authenticity?

It’s difficult to clearly define the concept of authenticity as this status could depend on the carpets’ characteristics and be different between modern and antiques rugs.

The entire Morandi Carpets collection is composed by authentic and handmade rugs and the characteristics used to evaluate in order to define the quality are: the period (it could be old, new or antique), the origin (you can find rugs from Persia, Caucasus, Pakistan, India and many more), knotting style (such as Ghiordes, Senneh or Tibetan), fabrics and colours used.

Every population or tribe that realizes these manufactures is extremely proud of its masterpieces.
