Buying a Rug

We have your floors covered! Call Beckwith Galleries • 613-237-6147 or 1-877-788-8860
Remember that most rugs will have a light and dark end, depending on the direction of the pile.
If you’re interested in a rug, make sure to view it from both ends.
There are various materials, pile densities and finishes which can affect the feel of a rug.
When purchasing a rug in person, you can touch, feel and compare the various qualities.
Most reputable shops will offer this service and can bring a few of your favourite options to be seen in your home.
If you’re considering a machine-made rug, keep in mind that it
should cost next to nothing, as there is no labour required in their production and the fibers are basically poor quality plastic.
Wool is the most common and best material for making rugs. A hand-knotted wool rug will outlast a machine-made rug by at least 50 years on average.
Since 1993, Beckwith Galleries has carried the highest quality of hand-knotted Persian, Oriental & Modern rugs in the Greater Ottawa Area.
