Vintage Rugs
Vintage Rugs
are used as interior decorating elements and define a specific era or style.
Many types of these rugs come in different sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns.
They are ideal for floor coverings, accessories, upholstery, and wall decor.
These rugs do not only symbolize style and elegance but also add warmth to your
home. However, since they are more expensive than other types of rugs, it would
be wise to carefully select them to get the best value for your money.
Vintage
Rugs Styles
One can categorize vintage rugs into three basic styles: floral, geometric, and
traditional. The floral style is characterized by deep pinks, reds, purples,
and yellows with prominent symmetry and arched lines. Geometric designs usually
have pointed edges and come in varied colors such as black, red, green, brown,
and white. Traditional carpets are the most common among antique rugs as they
are characterized by heavier-weight fabrics and simple geometric patterns made
using wool threads.
Collecting vintage
rugs means knowing the right cleaning methods for preserving the design and
the quality of the product itself. One should avoid damaging vintage rugs, which includes using
detergents with harsh chemicals, bleach, and soaps with harsh chemicals. It is
also important to take care of vintage pieces using delicate and smooth
bristles. In terms of weaving, it is essential to refrain from pulling,
stretching, poking, and bending.
Vintage
rugs
are also perfect as wall tapestries because they are also made with wool yarn.
Collectors who love antique rugs also have a passion for collecting Oriental
rugs. They are not only known for their richness in design and craftsmanship,
but they are also sought-after for their history. Some of the earliest examples
of antique Persian rugs were found in excavations in Iran.
