In this category you'll find a wide range of Upcycled rugs, old and antique rugs with a real soul and history. And in all sorts of sizes and colours. By our definition, blue vintage rugs are between 40 and 99 years old. Antique rugs, as we understand the term, are at least 100 years old. In the Vintage category you will therefore find mostly relatively young rugs of up to 40 years of age, many of them in blue. Depending on condition and size, though, older blue collector's pieces may be among them.
The design of these rugs is often one of a kind, and the treatment process brings out the colour especially well. Every shade gains a particular intensity and depth that gives the rugs a character all of their own. The range also includes patchwork pieces, in which different sections of old rugs are sewn together into a new design.

Frequently asked questions
Vintage rug FAQ
A vintage rug is a pre-owned rug, usually between 40 and 100 years old, that wins you over with its traditional handwork, its intense colours and its captivating patterns. Decades of use have given the surface fascinating textures and a patina. These vintage rugs combine classic Oriental designs with a touch of history and lend any room a stylish, timeless charm all of its own. But vintage rug can also mean that the pile has been reworked and re-dyed in new colours such as green, beige, grey, red or blue. With us you'll find antique, restored and unrestored vintage rugs. And reworked, freshly dyed vintage rugs too. Whether for the living room or the bedroom, a rug like this gives any room a special atmosphere. However big or small the room may be.
Several factors determine the value of a rug:
- Material: fine materials such as new wool, cork wool or pure silk usually point to a higher value. Size plays a part as well – larger rugs are often worth more because more material goes into them.
- Knotting technique: a high knot density (the number of knots per m²) is another indicator of a valuable rug, since it takes correspondingly longer to produce. The knotting technique also determines whether you have a short-pile rug or one with a high pile.
- Age and condition: older rugs that are well preserved can be especially valuable. Origin: where a rug comes from is another important indicator of its value. Rugs from renowned knotting regions such as Qom in Persia or Kayseri in Turkey are particularly sought after. Pattern, colours and design: rare or elaborately worked patterns, as well as unusual colours such as blue, green or grey, can raise the value of a rug considerably too. An unusual size or elaborate colour compositions are often especially popular.
A rug is described as antique when it is at least 100 years old. A well cared-for antique rug can survive for generations and gains in value and beauty over time. Not to mention its sentimental value when it is passed down within the family or among friends. Rugs like these are not only an eye-catcher in the living room or bedroom, but also a worthwhile investment. They work just as well as a runner in the hallway or in outdoor areas. When you buy an antique rug, you are investing not only in a one-of-a-kind work of art, but in a piece of history that grows in beauty and value over the years. Thanks to our fast shipping, you can be sure your new vintage rug reaches you quickly, whatever the size or colour combination – be it beige, blue or grey.
