What actually determines price
Size is the single biggest factor. A hand-knotted rug takes real weeks of labour per square metre, so price scales with area far more than with style — a small Kilim and a small Beni Ourain cost roughly the same; a large one of either costs roughly the same again, just larger.
Format matters too. A narrow runner uses far less wool and weaving time than a standard rectangular rug of comparable length, so runners are priced on their own, lower scale.
One-of-a-kind, already-finished pieces are priced individually based on their exact real dimensions, rather than against a size tier — since there's only one of them, there's no "next size up" to compare against.
Standard made-to-order pricing, by size
Most of Tiziri's made-to-order pieces — the majority of the current catalogue — follow this real, currently-selling size scale:
| Size | Price |
|---|---|
| 5 × 7 ft | $650 |
| 6 × 9 ft | $950 |
| 8 × 10 ft | $1,350 |
| 9 × 12 ft | $1,750 |
| 10 × 14 ft | $2,250 |
Runner pricing, by length
Runners — the narrow format used in hallways and entryways — are priced on a separate, lower scale that reflects their smaller area:
| Size | Price |
|---|---|
| 2.5 × 8 ft | $340 |
| 2.5 × 10 ft | $420 |
| 2.5 × 12 ft | $500 |
| 3 × 12 ft | $590 |
| 3 × 14 ft | $680 |
One-of-a-kind, ready-to-ship pieces
A smaller number of pieces in the catalogue are already finished, unique, and priced individually against their real measured size rather than a tier — currently ranging roughly $1,050 to $1,950, reflecting mid-to-large individual dimensions. These are single pieces: once sold, that exact rug isn't remade.
"A price that doesn't scale with size, or that undercuts every tier above by a wide margin, is the clearest sign a rug wasn't hand-knotted the way it's being described."
Why an identical-looking rug can vary in price elsewhere
Knot density is the hidden variable. A high-density, tightly-knotted rug of the same dimensions as a looser one takes meaningfully longer to weave and holds up better over decades — two rugs that look similar in a photo can legitimately differ in price for reasons a photo alone won't show. Machine-made "Moroccan style" rugs sidestep all of this labour entirely, which is exactly why they can undercut genuine hand-knotted pricing by a wide margin. Our authentication guide covers how to tell the difference in person.
A note on made-to-order timing
Because made-to-order pieces are woven to your chosen size after you order, price is confirmed at the time of your enquiry rather than locked in from a photo taken at a different size. Every made-to-order product page lists the full size/price table so you know the real range before reaching out.

Shop All RugsThe bottom line
Size and format explain almost all of the price difference you'll see across a genuine hand-knotted catalogue. If a price doesn't scale with either, or seems detached from both, that's worth asking about before buying — not because it's necessarily dishonest, but because a real hand-knotted rug's price should be explainable in exactly these terms.
