This collection gathers hand-knotted and hand-woven wool rugs priced under $499, the most accessible way to bring a handmade piece into your home. Rugs at this level are commonly smaller formats such as 3' x 5', 4' x 6' and 5' x 8', or flatweaves such as kilims. Price here mostly reflects size and knot density.
These rugs suit entryways, kitchens, bedrooms and reading corners, and they layer well over a larger rug. Turn a rug over before you buy: even, regular knots on the back are a good sign of careful weaving. See the price guide for what shapes handmade rug prices, or the rug size guide to choose a size.
