An antique is typically defined as an object that is at least 100 years old. Within the world of rugs, we would also add that they should be hand-woven using proven and age-old techniques that set them apart from anything a machine would mass-produce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vintage vs. Antique&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some antique stores sell vinyl records, furniture, and other items that are, indeed, old. However, an object must be 100 years old or older to be defined as antique. Rugs are no exception to this rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vintage items are at least 20 years old, but less than 100. This means most items in your average antique store are technically vintage. As such, while a vintage <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/\" title=\"rug\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">rug<\/a> may be hand-woven and fairly old, it is still too young to count as an antique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Handmade Antique Rugs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within rug-weaving,\u00a0there are two types of weaving techniques: hand-knotted and hand-tufted. The difference is subtle, but important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand-knotted rug is made by tying tens of thousands of intricate knots in the desired pattern on a loom. Because this type of rug is made exclusively with threads and hands, it has no backing and shows the same pattern on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hand-tufted rug is made by stretching canvas or some other material across a frame and using a handheld tool to inject colored fibers into the canvas. This type of rug takes less time and skill to make than a hand-knotted rug, and only one side of it displays the pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/oriental-rugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rug-6-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rug-6-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rug-6-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rug-6-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rug-6-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rug-6.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cropped Antique Rugs\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the myths of antique rugs is that you cannot clean them without causing damage. However, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. In addition to physically removing the dirt from the rug\u2019s fabrics using careful cleaning techniques, some antique rugs have been cropped or shaved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a rug has been cropped, that means the first layer of the pile (the soft, decorative side of the rug) has been carefully removed. By doing so, the dirty threads on top are cleared away to reveal the cleaner, more vibrantly colored threads beneath. It must be noted that shaving the pile makes the rug slightly thinner. This is why sellers of antique rugs consider cropped antique rugs to be a different category than antique rugs that were cleaned in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Regional Variations&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antique rugs often come from specific regions in the world\u2019s \u201cRug Belt\u201d. The Rug Belt begins in Morocco, extends across North Africa and the Middle East, and reaches into Central Asia and Northern India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people have heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/persian-rugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Persian rugs<\/a>, which hail from modern-day Iran or historical Persia. <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/oriental-rugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oriental rugs<\/a> come from a wider area that ranges from Northern Africa to Northern India. Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/turkish-rugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Turkish rugs<\/a> are produced within the historic Ottoman Empire, including what we currently know as modern-day Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find the Perfect Antique Rug at Rug Source!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you\u2019re doing research and considering the different types of antique rugs, we welcome you to <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/rugs\">shop<\/a> through our ever-growing inventory and use our <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/\">blog<\/a> to help you make informed decisions about your purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We carry all the rug variations discussed in today\u2019s blog, plus many more.
