Q. Can a 150-Year-Old rug be beautiful and functional on the floor?
We are occasionally asked by new clients to our gallery "if a rug over 150 years of age and use is still functional on the floor?" The answer depends on the specific rug. The rugs in our collection were individually selected and are considered some of the finest vintage handwoven rugs that were artistically created in the past two centuries. So the answer to the question is a strong YES if you acquire a piece from a reputable gallery.
Q. Does it matter who I purchase the rug from?
Absolutely. You want to purchase the rug from a gallery that stands behind their collection. The benefit of building a relationship with a gallery that specializes in fine vintage handwoven rugs is that their focus should be on finding you the right item that fits your individual and family needs. The gallery should be willing and interested in working with the client and the designer to find the right piece.
