Antique and vintage are offers used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference. Vintage rugs are usually between 25 and 100 years old, while antique ones are more than 100 years old. Originally, antique rugs were made for nobility and not to be sold, and they carry a high price tag. Vintage rugs are usually unique and budget-friendly.

Where Do Antique and Vintage Rugs Come From?

Vintage rugs are either Persian or Turkish or made from other countries like Afghanistan using the same hand knotted design. The design and colors in vintage rugs depend on the available dyes and styles in an area.

Persian rugs are mostly handwoven with short to medium piles and made in present-day Iran. They also consist of floral designs and colorful geometric with deep reds and the inclusion of other colors. On the other hand, Turkish rugs have some similarities with antique Persian rugs in their design and styles.  Others have geometric designs, such as the kilim styles, which are flat woven. You can find Turkish rugs that combine both Turkish and Persian designs and patterns.

Reasons to Choose a Vintage Rug

Vintage and antique rugs offer great quality and taste and can display greater color patterns. They have various color schemes and styles that make them unique. Hand-woven antique rugs draw inspiration from countries in the Middle East where they are made. The color patterns of these antique rugs are a result of different dyes mixed with various plants and berries. These rugs are one-of-a-kind and very stunning.

Durable Rugs

Vintage rugs consist of an inviting texture that is durable to withstand everyday life. They are made from high-quality wool that is both soft and durable. Vintage rugs are soft on your feet and provide warmth which is ideal in areas with cold weather.

Characteristics of Authentic Hand-Knotted Vintage Rugs

It’s crucial that you know the qualities of authentic vintage rugs, so you know what to look for when shopping. True vintage rugs do not have backing since they are hand knotted. Many ads for vintage rugs usually show the back of the rug to show there is no backing. They also have an integrated fringe out of the weave of the rug.

Vintage rugs are made from quality natural materials like wool, silk, and cotton. They do not have plastic, polyester, or any other artificial materials. Wool is the common material used to make vintage rugs. Authentic hand-knotted vintage rugs are not hand-tufted.

Vintage rugs use the ancient traditional hand knotting method where the threads are stretched across a loom, and knitters make intricate designs by hand through the foundation. On the other hand, hand tufted is a modern method where the rugs are made using a tufting gun that punches threads through a fabric sheet. To hold the tufts together, the machine adds another layer of fabric which is known as backing.

Another thing to look for is the KPI or knots per inch. Hand knotted rugs usually have a KPI of 50 to 400. This number can be higher for more expensive rugs. Typically, an old and vintage rug with high density will cost more and has better quality. Additionally, vintage rugs that are hand-spun are more costly than those that are naturally dyed.

How a High End Antique Rug Can Beautiful Tie Together Your Space
