Vintage rugs have been lived with for decades. Time softens the colours and lowers the pile, giving a warmth and character a new rug can't have. Every one is a true one-off.
- Some wear, uneven pile and faded areas are expected – it's part of the rug's history, not damage
- Old, careful repairs are common in rugs of this age
- Edges and fringes may be uneven after years of use – ask us if you would like close-up photos
- Vacuum gently on a low setting, without the rotating brush, and avoid the fringes
- Use a rug underlay to reduce wear and stop slipping
- Blot spills straight away – never rub
