But why examine the back of a carpet? What insights can it provide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed examination of a rug\u2019s back is crucial for several reasons:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Below are the reasons that lead a specialist to examine the back of a rug:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Rug Structure &#13;\nThe rug\u2019s back reveals the technical aspects of the weave and knots, aiding in determining its origin. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Rug Quality &#13;\nThe back exposes the weave\u2019s thickness and knot density. &#13;\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Rug Restoration &#13;\nRestorations, often less visible on the rug\u2019s front, can be more clearly identified on the back. &#13;\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Rug Dyes &#13;\nThe rug\u2019s back can provide information about the dyes used, particularly if there\u2019s a significant color disparity between the rug\u2019s two sides. The front is usually lighter than the back, primarily due to sunlight-induced fading. However, if an antique rug exhibits identical coloration on both sides, it may suggest artificial painting to conceal fading. &#13;\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Approximate Rug Age&#13;\nThe back\u2019s texture can help estimate the rug\u2019s age. Over time, the back of a rug becomes relatively smooth, while most new rugs have a more fibrous and fluffy texture. Examining the back can be crucial in determining the approximate age of an antique rug that appears relatively new on the front.&#13;\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-11321","orientacoes-para-com","type-orientacoes-para-com","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orientacoes-para-com\/11321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orientacoes-para-com"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/orientacoes-para-com"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orientacoes-para-com\/11321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11322,"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orientacoes-para-com\/11321\/revisions\/11322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/figalli.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
