Patchwork rug from handmade old...What are Antique rugs?
Antique rugs are rugs that are old. Specifically, they are rugs made before 1950 and they can be any type of rug at all. Antique rugs can be Turkish rugs, Oriental rugs, Afghan rugs, Tribal rugs or Persian rugs. Antique rugs can also come in any size and shape, including large and small area rugs, runner rugs, and prayer rugs. These rugs often have vibrant colours and intricate designs that stand out vividly.
Generally speaking, for antique rugs to have good value, they must have been well cared for and they also must be hand-woven and hand-knotted. These rugs are of the highest quality and will also be made with 100% natural materials and dyed with all-natural dyes. Antique rugs generally fit with a more traditional decor and have colours and patterns that add a sense of elegance to any room.
How do antique rugs maintain their wonderful colours and good looks?
The care that it takes to keep a rug looking good starts with keeping it out of the direct sunlight. In addition to this, the rugs may have been rotated frequently so that there are always different sides of it exposed to the light. These rugs have also always been stored in places with low humidity and have been protected from moths. If anything has stained the rugs in the past, the stains have been removed right away.
Of course, antique rugs aren't always found in the best conditions, but they are preserved the best they can be and can still be worth quite a lot if they are exceptionally old. Very old antique rugs can also tell us a lot about the history of rug making, including when rugs were first made and how styles, designs, and colours changed over time.
