The term "vintage" when applied to rugs, is used to describe an old rug that has been rebirthed.
This happens by shearing and shaving the pile and /or sun fading it. Their appeal lies in the textural worn nature of the pile surface and the muted or aged appearance of their tones
While there is no single set of aesthetic values that defines the "vintage rug style", typically they are unique and original examples of the traditional weaver’s art, whether from tribal, village or city looms and are steeped in nostalgic beauty..
Importantly they impart a visual style that provides a strong sensory experience and can seamlessly change the look and feel of one’s interior in a manner that feels authentically timeless.
