Vintage carpets are semi-antique Persian or Turkish rugs (typically 30 to 50 years old) that have been professionally restored and reimagined. We trim the pile to create a contemporary "distressed" look and steam-wash the fibers to neutralize the original colors. They are then either kept in their natural state or overdyed in vibrant, modern shades.
All of our Patina carpets are 100% authentic Persian rugs. These are rare, high-quality pieces that have aged naturally and beautifully over several decades. Unlike our overdyed collection, Patina rugs retain their original, soft-faded colors that only time can produce, offering a sophisticated and understated luxury.
Persian carpets are the gold standard of the industry due to their superior wool quality, high knot density, and centuries of traditional craftsmanship. They are renowned for their durability and the way their colors gain character over time.
Yes. Choosing a Vintage or Patina carpet is a highly sustainable choice. Instead of producing new synthetic materials, we upcycle authentic, hand-knotted wool rugs. By meticulously restoring these pieces, we give them a second life and prevent high-quality materials from going to waste.
Every carpet in our collection undergoes professional cleaning in accordance with the highest European hygiene standards. During the production process, our vintage carpets are washed several times to achieve their signature faded look. Once finished, they are stored in the pristine environment of our boutique shop to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
