Hand-knotted rugs are robust and durable if you follow a few simple guidelines.
🧹 Vacuuming without a brush head, in the direction of the pile. Not across the fringes.
💧 Spills should be dabbed immediately with a damp cloth, never rubbed.
🚫 Do not use chemicals or harsh cleaners. Professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn stains.
☀️ Avoid direct sunlight to slow down the fading of natural colours.
📦 Storage should always be rolled, never folded. Store in a dry and ventilated place.

Questions & Answers
“Vintage” does not just mean old here. Each rug is carefully selected and repaired where necessary, so that its soft patina and timeless character are preserved. The natural ageing of wool and colours comes first, and the rug is ready to use straight away.
Yes. Each piece began as a hand-knotted Persian rug, made by experienced nomads or city weavers. The reconditioning does not change the original handwork.
Through decades of use, light and washing, wool and colours become softer. This creates soft, muted tones and a lived-in feel that looks timeless.
Absolutely. Each rug is reinforced and repaired, so it is both beautiful and functional, suitable for living rooms, hallways and busy areas.
We restore damaged areas using traditional techniques, preserving the structure. Repairs are carried out in a way that maintains the rug's aesthetic and strength, allowing its history to remain visible.
Vacuum lightly, rotate occasionally, and do not brush fringes vigorously. For deep cleaning: specialists for handmade and restored rugs.
Each rug combines decades of craftsmanship with careful reconditioning. Rarity, quality and detail make it one of a kind; you buy cultural heritage and art at the same time.
A vintage rug stays in use instead of a new one being made, and it brings its history into your room.
Yes. Soft patina, muted tones and distinctive patterns go well with Scandinavian, minimalist, boho, rustic and modern styles. They bring warmth and character to the room.
That is part of the handmade charm and vintage character. Slightly uneven colour gradients or wear add personality; each rug keeps the story of its life.
Yes. Every piece is one of a kind with historic presence. Unusual patterns, rare colours and high knotting quality are particularly sought after.
