Product Note

Rugs from our vintage and semi antique collections are actual old rugs not new rugs made to look old.  Repairs and/or signs of wear are a natural characteristic of vintage rugs and are not defects. This gives each rug a personal touch making it a true one-of-a-kind.  All rugs go through an extensive refurbishment process in Pakistan to ensure trouble free use for years to come.

Why Handmade?

There's nothing quite like the unique beauty and character of a handmade rug. Each one is a labor of love, crafted by skilled artisans who pour their heart and soul into every knot and weave. Unlike machine-made rugs, which can often be mass-produced and lack personality, handmade rugs are one-of-a-kind works of art that exude warmth and charm. They are crafted from the finest materials, such as wool, silk, and cotton, and each piece tells a story through its intricate patterns and colors. One of the most significant benefits of handmade rugs is their durability. Because they are meticulously crafted by hand, they are built to last for generations and can even become family heirlooms. But perhaps the most significant advantage of handmade rugs is the emotional connection they create. Every time you step onto a handmade rug, you are transported to a world of artistry and craftsmanship, reminding you of the beauty that can be created by human hands.

Care Instructions

Vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the roots of the fibers. Brushless attachment is recommended. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Use rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening piles. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors. Turn carpet occasionally to equalize wear. Clean spills immediately; if liquid, blot with clean, undyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Use of a rug pad is recommended.
