Oversized vintage style rugs

8 replies

Hello, I am looking to inject some character into my lovely (but a bit bland) new build. Have quite a lot of floor space to fill and would like some extra large vintage Persian style rugs. Any recommendations? I have seen some on John Lewis and on ruggable (but feedback seems mixed on ruggable)….I am happy to invest in the rugs and spend on them as I think they will make all the difference. Any recommendations?

The Vintage Rug Company on ebay has actual vintage persian rugs. Much better for the environment and more beautiful than printed plastic (which is what ruggable rugs are).

Fabulous, I will take a look on there. Thanks very much

Antique barns/warehouses usually have old rugs for the same price as new ones but loads more character and much better quality.

We bought a few on eBay (a Liberty style in pure wool and an antique Persian also pure wool). Iirc we paid £500 for the first one - which is about 25% of what we paid for one brand new in Liberty back in 2008 - and £1100 for the Persian.

More recently we did buy a large (4 x 3m) vintage Prado Orient rug - also eBay - for under £200 and have also had success with irugs, although they ship from the US and usually arrive folded.....

I like these from Weaver Green, which are made from recycled bottles so very eco-friendly!

If you want the real thing you could also check out local auctions.
