Frequently Asked Questions
Is a hand-knotted rug worth it?
Absolutely. A hand-knotted rug is one of the most valuable investments you can make for your home. Unlike machine-made rugs that wear out within a few years, hand-knotted Persian rugs are built to last generations. At Dockside Rugs, every piece is authentically hand-knotted using traditional Persian weaving techniques passed down through generations making each rug truly one of a kind. And because we ship directly from the source with no third-party fees, you get museum-quality craftsmanship at 40–70% less than what other retailers charge.
Which country has the best carpets in the world?
Persia modern-day is universally regarded as the birthplace of the world’s finest carpets. Persian rugs are celebrated for their intricate patterns, premium natural wool, and centuries-old weaving traditions. At Dockside Rugs, our collection is sourced directly from these ancient Persian traditions and shipped straight from the historic port of Basra, ensuring you receive nothing but authentic, original craftsmanship not imitations.
What is the best Persian rug?
The best Persian rug depends on your style and space but the most sought-after styles include Oushaks, Palace rugs, and Tribal pieces, all of which are featured in our Dockside collection. Our rugs are 100% wool on wool, naturally antibacterial, and woven in the desert sands using time-honored Persian techniques. Whether you prefer a bold tribal design or an elegant palace-style piece, each rug in our collection has been trusted by Hollywood brands and historic properties across the United States.
Can you vacuum hand-knotted rugs?
Yes hand-knotted rugs can and should be vacuumed regularly to maintain their beauty. Use a low-suction setting and avoid vacuuming the fringes to prevent damage. Our Dockside rugs are made from 100% natural wool, which is naturally resilient and easy to clean. In fact, our rugs are specifically designed with coastal and beach living in mind easy to maintain even in high-traffic, sandy environments. For deeper cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning every 1–2 years.
How long do hand-knotted rugs last?
A well-made hand-knotted Persian rug can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years and many become cherished family heirlooms passed down through generations. The secret lies in the materials and craftsmanship. Our Dockside rugs are made with pure wool on wool, one of the most durable natural fibers, using authentic hand-knotting methods that ensure every knot holds firm over decades of use. With minimal care and occasional professional cleaning, your Dockside rug will only grow more beautiful with age.
