Selecting Your Ideal Rugs and Carpets
Timeless antique and vintage rugs have found their way into homes worldwide, serving as essential elements for comfort, reflection, and personal expression. Thus, the quest for the perfect area rug is truly a shared global mission.
In contemporary terms, “carpet” often refers to wall-to-wall flooring that is anchored in place, while rugs are versatile pieces designed for specific areas that can easily be relocated. However, in many regions, these terms may be used interchangeably, and ultimately, the name you choose is of little consequence.
While classic Persian and vintage Turkish rugs are celebrated for their ability to bring warmth to any space, there exists a plethora of other antique styles to consider when you wish to infuse new colors and textures into your living room or bedroom.
Take Moroccan Berber rugs, for instance; they aren't solely about intricate patterns. In fact, some of the most captivating examples are strikingly simple in design yet feature vibrant colors and subtle variations. A Moroccan-inspired living room might showcase a beautiful rug alongside intricately carved wooden screens and a striking tapestry draped behind a sofa.
Handwoven kilim rugs are distinguished by their rich hues and unique weaving techniques; unlike the plush Beni Ourain rugs from Morocco, authentic kilims are flat and devoid of pile. While “kilim” has Turkish roots, this weaving tradition flourishes throughout the Balkans and across the Arab world.
On the topic of visually stunning floor coverings, Oushak rugs are known for their signature “medallion” patterns featuring alternating rounded shapes against a vivid red or blue backdrop crafted from natural dyes, while their intricate “star” patterns showcase large eight-pointed designs interspersed with diamonds.
If you’re in search of something a bit more unconventional, consider a vibrant runner rug to brighten your hallway or stairs. Delve into our collection of mid-century modern rugs for striking geometric designs created by esteemed Swedish textile artisans such as Märta Måås-Fjetterström and Marianne Richter.
Rugs and carpets boast a rich history spanning thousands of years. Early humans used animal skins, wool, and fur to produce basic fabrics that softened rough surfaces. A fascinating study from 2016 suggests that prehistoric people may have hunted "cave lions" for their pelts, which were used to embellish caves as symbols of strength and status. While many of these ancient textiles remain today, pinpointing their exact origins presents challenges. Carpets rapidly evolved into valuable trade items that journeyed far beyond their places of creation.
The oldest carpet on record was discovered in southern Siberia and may have originated from Persepolis in Iran. Native American flat-weave rugs primarily utilized cotton before the introduction of sheep’s wool in the 16th century. In Europe, carpet-making became intertwined with folk art traditions, while Asian carpets imported to Europe were once considered luxurious treasures not meant for permanent display on floors.
