  1. I personally could not tell you if a carpet was old or new but I did have a third generation carpet buyer tell me some tips. Single knot is not better than dounble knot, just different places use different knot. Wool on cotton, wool on wool with natural dye will last for many generations. Make sure if they say its silk that it is silk, sometimes they’re polyester. If you get a natural dye carpet more than 50 years old expect to pay more than $4,000. If you get a Pakistani carpet you can get for around $1000. Just because you go to factory does not mean you are gettıng a Turkish or Iranian carpet you may still get a Pakıstani or Chinese carpet.

    1. Hi Valerie,

      Thanks for the comments! I guess that’s really true! Is there any way to tell if the carpet we bought is really from Turkey? That would really help our readers who wish to get a Turkish carpet in the future!

      Tom,
