How to identify antique rugs

Rugs come in all shapes and sizes. They also originate from all over the globe, from countries like Turkey and Morocco. So, how do you know which antique rugs are collectables? Focus on the following features:

  • Look on the back: An old rug will feel gritty after decades of use while a modern equivalent will be softer and smooth because of the qualities of newer yarns.
  • Colour quality: If a rug pile looks faded, check the entire length of the yarn. If it's the same colour throughout, the chances are it's old. If the colour is darker as you look further into the yarn, it is a sunbleached modern example.
  • Knots per square inch: Older rugs tend to have fewer knots per square inch than more modern carpets.
