PURCHASING

Purchasing Advice How to choose your piece : Do you love the piece ? Remember no two pieces are the same, each piece is unique. Hand made. Never expect to find another carpet the same. What is important to you ? The quality of the materials the piece is made from? What is the quality - how many knots per square centimetre? What would the expected life of the piece in your home environment be? What is the age of the piece, antique, old, new - is that important to you? Is the size of the piece important to you? How would you feel if you returned home from your holiday without your carpet? Take the time to compare quality. A memorable pleasure from Turkey - a treasure for life How is the sellers price derived? From the sellers point the price they paid to the family or wholesaler for the carpet is important. This is when they negotiated the price for the workmanship, size, age, materials, quality and general condition of the piece. Carpet sellers also have overheads and business costs in Turkey, that are built into the cost of a piece. It would be poor business for a seller to sell a piece for less than it cost business. How much are you prepared to pay for the piece? The amount you are prepared to pay for the piece once you have gathered all the information on it, is the price you should pay for your piece. The carpet should be your treasure from Turkey, not an expensive nightmare. A quality piece will survive one hundred, and more, years. This is a purchase for life. There is rarely a fixed price for a piece due to the many factors that impact upon the price. It was your choice if you paid a greater amount than what you felt the piece was worth. There is a piece for every budget. Trouble Shooting A test to ensure natural dyes rather than chemical dyes have been used is to wipe a damp pale cloth over the carpet. A hand woven carpet is patterned on the reverse as well as on the front. Pure wool and silk maybe measured by lighting the fringe both leave an ash, not a melted lump as synthetic materials do. Check the pile natural dyes do not tend to fade. Colour difference at the base of the pile is a indicator of chemical dyes. Reputable Dealers A reputable dealer is most sought after. A good indicator is how long a business has been operating. One method of finding a dealer is by using recommendations from other people who have purchased carpets or using publications from specialists who have visited many sellers and have, by there own and others experiences, found a dealer that they trust. Bottom line is to purchase from a dealer that you feel comfortable with.
