Our biggest complaint is the ongoing effort by machine-made manufacturers and retailers to blur the difference between their product and genuine Oriental Area Rugs. Over the years we've talked with lots and lots of people confused about what they bought or were given.<br> Machine-made carpets may have their place, but learn to identify them so you can be sure about what you are examining or being offered.</p> </td></tr> </table></td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><img src="img/px.gif" height="10"></td></tr> <tr> <td width="200"><img src="img/sq-normal.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" align="right"> <a href="evolution.html"><strong>Evolution of Rugs</strong></a> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><img src="img/px.gif" height="10"></td></tr> <tr> <td width="200"><img src="img/sq-normal.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" align="right"> <a href="making/making.html"><strong>Rug Making</strong></a> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><img src="img/px.gif" height="10"></td></tr> <tr> <td width="200" background="img/green-bg.jpg" valign="middle"><img src="img/sq-normal.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" align="right"> <a href="oriental-rugs/index.html"><strong>Oriental Rugs for Sale</strong></a> </td></tr> </table></td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <hr size="1" width="200" color="#999999"> Copyright © 2003-2008 Oriental carpets at Bukhara-carpets.com<br> </td></tr> </table> </body>
