Abrash - A change in the color of a rug due to differences in the wool or dye batch. The color and change runs across the rug, and is most likely to occur at the top.

Q: What should I look for when buying an Oriental rug?
A: Of course, the most important aspect about buying a fine rug is working with a knowledgeable rug retailer you can trust - one who can assure you that you're getting what you pay for. Then it comes down to aesthetics and budget. What colors do you like? Light or deep? Do you prefer traditional or more contemporary patterns? Florals? Geometrics? Are you trying to match certain fabrics or paint colors? Do you want a rug with a medallion or one with an all-over design? Do you want a new rug or an older one? Finally, how much do you want to spend? Remember, you can get good value in every price range.

Aubusson - A style of flat-woven rug originally created in the French village of Aubusson, a center for the production of tapestries and furniture coverings since the 16th century. Aubusson rugs are known for their floral and Chinoiserie patterns.
With proper care, Oriental rugs can last for generations. We recommend using rug padding to help protect rugs from wear, dirt and slippage.
Rugs should be professionally cleaned at least every one to four years, depending on the amount of traffic, environmental conditions and soil.
Vacuuming your rug regularly will remove harmful grit and loose soil. If your rug is fringed, be careful to keep the vacuum off the fringe to prevent damage. For antiques and flatweaves, it is preferable to use a carpet sweeper instead of a vacuum cleaner.
