Questions
Good to know
What counts as an "antique" rug?
In the trade, antique generally means roughly 80-100 years old or more; semi-antique or vintage covers the decades since. We state age honestly for every piece and never call a recent rug antique to make a sale.
How are your rugs priced?
Each rug is priced individually on origin, age, weave, condition, rarity, and size. Most pieces are shown price-on-request so we can give you the full story; serious inquiries always get a clear, consistent number.
Can I see more photos or a video?
Always. We send front, back, corner, and pile close-ups and a natural-light video on request - and you can arrange in-home approval before you buy.
