Handmade Rug Reproductions

Nourison Rugs

The great rugs of Persia have been copied exactly or adapted to modern room sizes over and over again in the Orient. The best of these copies are now made in India where carefully supervised , weavers produce fine fabrics of superior wool and mellow color.

These Indian factories will reproduce any handmade rug, from a priceless hunting carpet to an 18th Century English floral.

They have even devised a flat rug in Aubusson patterns, by using a type of fine chain stitch which completely covers the heavy foundation fabric. (This is a refinement of the chain stitch used to make the pattern on Indian Numdah rugs.)

Because Indian labor is cheaper than labor in any European or American country, their knotted rugs are among the least expensive handmade reproductions of period floorcoverings available today.
