What are Antique Rugs?

An antique rug is a rug that is valued for its age, craftsmanship, design, and historical significance. It is considered a valuable piece of art and is often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. These rugs hold immense value as artifacts, reflecting the history, culture, and craftsmanship of their respective regions.

How are antique rugs different from modern rugs? 

Antique rugs often feature intricate and unique designs, influenced by the culture and artistic traditions of the region where they were created. They are often handmade using traditional weaving techniques, showcasing the skill and artistry of the weavers from the past. Modern rugs may showcase a wide range of design styles, including traditional, contemporary, and abstract patterns. Modern rugs can be handmade or machine-made, with varying levels of craftsmanship.

Can antique rugs be installed as stair runners? 

Yes, antique rugs can be installed as stair runners. Once you select your preferred rug style, our team can step into fabrication and customize it for a seamless install on your staircase. However, it’s important to consider the material and weave style when selecting a vintage rug for your stairs. Given that stairs see a lot of foot traffic, you want to choose a style that is durable enough to withstand it. Our experts at New England Loom can guide you in selecting the most suitable option for your needs. You can always inquire directly with the pros at New England Loom or our project managers to identify a style that will serve best for your needs.

Common regions where many of these rug styles originate from include Oriental Rugs (primarily from the East, including Persia, China, and India), Persian Rugs (originating from Persia, now Iran), Turkish Rugs (showcasing distinct patterns and colors) and Moroccan Rugs (featuring bold
geometric patterns and vibrant colors).
