Vintage Persian Rugs versus Persian Antique Rugs: What Buyers Should Know
Looking for a way to add incredible beauty and timeless style to your home? Whether you’re looking for a rug for the living room or to add warmth and class to the master bedroom, a Persian rug could be exactly what you need.
Of course, you must learn how to navigate this area. You’ll find area rugs labeled as vintage and antique, but what’s the difference? Which of the many fine Persian rugs is better suited for your needs?
Antique vs. Vintage
First, let’s address the question of an antique rug versus vintage rugs. Technically, any rug labeled as “vintage” is between 20 and 80 years old. However, a Persian rug labeled as “antique” is over 80 or even 100 years old. So, vintage means that the rug is old, but antique means it is among the oldest examples of its kind.
Questions about Materials and Dyes
Genuine Persian rugs are stunning works of art. However, you’ll probably encounter similar-looking rugs that claim to be the real thing but aren’t. Understanding the materials, dyes, and crafting processes that go into making genuine Persian rugs can help prevent you from falling victim to these counterfeits.
Material
For a real Persian rug, wool is the material of choice in most cases. Whether you’re thinking of purchasing a traditional Persian rug in red, a Persian rug in blue and cream, rugs in teal, or a combination of different colors, authentic rugs are made with real wool. However, you will also find silk rug examples that include Persian knot patterns.
Manufacturing
These beautiful, timeless rugs are made by hand. Hand-woven rugs offer much better durability than machine-manufactured pile rugs, and they provide individual character only available with rugs hand knotted by expert craftspeople.
Dyes
These classic rugs use only vegetable dyes. Organic dyes made from vegetables last for decades without fading and are nontoxic, unlike synthetic dyes used in manufacturing modern rugs.
Knot Patterns
Knotted rugs offer eye-catching beauty and style, but did you know that knots are more than mere decoration? A hand-knotted rug will have more knots than a machine-woven rug. The more knots present, the longer the rug took to make, and the finer the craftsmanship with most fine rugs.
Names
You might be familiar with the category “Persian” or “oriental” rugs, but genuine fine rugs can be marketed and sold under many different names. These refer to different characteristics of the rugs, including their geographic area of origin, the pattern woven into them with hand-spun yarn, and the type of Turkish rug knot used around the border. Just some of the names you may encounter include the following:
• Gabbeh rugs
• Kashan rug
• Kilim rugs
• Heriz rug
• Bakhtiari rug
• Tabriz rug
How to Choose Your New Wool Rug or Silk Rug
Choosing between one-of-a-kind rugs can be challenging. Let your intuition guide you. Start with the colors of the room and your goal for the space. Do you want a hand-knotted rug that adds a sense of calm and peace? Do you want a dramatic centerpiece for the space?
Next, choose the pattern that best suits your needs. How will it tie into your existing aesthetic? Knotted rugs can add a lot of detail to any space, but it’s easy to overwhelm them with other décor. Keep your space minimally decorated so that the rug becomes the focal point of the design.
Finally, make sure you work with a reputable retailer of one-of-a-kind rugs. The right retailer will offer fine rugs handcrafted in this ancient tradition that will last your family for centuries, becoming treasured heirlooms.
How to Identify Tabriz Rugs
Interested in purchasing an antique rug for your home or office? A Tabriz rug might be an excellent choice. One of many types of fine Persian rugs, a Tabriz rug adds beauty, color, and life to any space. But what should you know before you buy an Oriental rug in the Tabriz style?
First, like all authentic Persian rugs, a genuine Tabriz rug will be made from handspun yarn and will use vegetable dyes for the coloring. These one-of-a-kind rugs are also made from wool – this is not a silk rug. They originate in Tabriz, the capital city of an eastern province (Azerbaijan) in Iran, which is one of the oldest weaving centers in the world.
Another way to distinguish a Tabriz Persian rug from other Persian rugs, particularly kilim rugs, is to look at the pile. These fine rugs are made using a small metal hook and the Turkish knot technique, rather than Persian knots. The result is a finer weave.
The range of designs used with Tabriz-type rugs also makes them stand out. You’ll discover medallion-themed designs, but also Herati/Mahi designs, figural designs, floral options, and more.
You’ll also find that Tabriz rugs come in a wide range of colors and color combinations. Red rug designs are popular, but so are blue and cream, with different concentrations to add visual interest to any space.
Add a cool, blue rug under the bed in the master bedroom, or a warm red in the living room. These fine Persian rugs are very versatile, but they’re also delicate.
The use of organic dyes and natural fibers means that the rug will last for many years, but that it must be cleaned with care. We recommend dry cleaning once per year, as well as regular gentle vacuuming or sweeping to remove debris. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, though, as they can damage hand woven rugs.
We also recommend that you limit foot traffic. While they work well for almost any area of the home, they will last longer if placed in areas with less traffic – bedrooms and less-used spaces of the house are ideal. If they will be used in high-traffic areas, we recommend that shoes not be worn to maximize the lifespan of these authentic rugs.
Ultimately, these stunning rugs can bring life and color to your home for decades to come. With the right care, they can last for generations!
Manual cleaning is recommended for these rugs and if your rug is heavily soiled or stained, you’ll need to have a professional cleaning for hand knotted rugs.
Kurosh Persian rugs can guide you when it comes to caring for your new rug. We also recommend that you put them in lower-traffic areas of the home to preserve them as much as possible.
