his is a Real Hand-Knotted Oriental Rug. It is not hand-tufted or a machine made rug. Our entire inventory is made of either hand-knotted or hand-woven rugs. Please Note: Due to packaging the texture of the rug will/may be pressed. This is not a defect and should be unnoticeable after several days. Note: Dear Valued-Customer, please be advised that the package size does not reflect the rugs actual size. Many times it is folded and then rolled in order to meet FedEx and UPS shipping regulations. We have made every effort to display the colors of our rugs as accurate as possible. But the colors may vary depending on your monitor type and the illumination levels of your space.
