Old & Antique

For those who appreciate the story behind a rug that has traveled the world and possibly been a part of many people’s lives, an old or antique rug may appeal to you. Like other items that have been in existence for a significant period of time, they tend to become rarer and harder to find — especially if they have been well cared for. Generally, the older a rug is, (depending on the style) the more valuable it is. Although there is no formal standard for what is considered “old” or “antique”, a rug that is generally at least 50 years old or more is considered antique and those that are under 50 but at least 20 can be considered old.    

With an old or antique rug, you should expect to see normal signs of wear or aging — this actually enhances the look, and shouldn’t have a detrimental effect on its value. Hand-woven rugs that are made using superior natural materials are incredibly durable, so you can expect one that has been cared for properly to last additional decades and possibly even a century or more after you purchase it.
