Antique rugs – What adds value to them

Antique rugs are the beautiful reminders of those ancient civilizations that gave us the grandeur and elegance of art and culture. They come mostly from countries where such early civilizations were present like Turkey, Persia (present Iran), China, India, etc. Centuries back, they were made in these countries to be exported to the Western countries. Today, they are the favourites of the whole world and are bought at high cost.

The oldest rugs from Persia dates back to 500 B.C. They were Hand Woven obviously as there was no equipment to weave until sometime back. Antique rugs vary in colour, size, material and designs. However, there are a few factors that are common to all of them like soft fibres and bright colours. They were either made with wool or silk with cotton backing.

Antique rugs provide a rich look and cosy ambience to a room. In olden times they were the symbols of wealth and good taste. Now they are used in private homes, 5 star hotels, museums, etc. to make the same impression on people. The current trend in antique rugs is to use neutral colours that looks washed out so that the rugs would match any room.

One major factor regarding the antique rugs is that they should match the remaining items in a room. To put it in a different way, when you add an ancient rug in a room, make sure that your room is adequately matching the rug. For example, in a room that is decorated in a modern way with all contemporary designs and decorations, an antique rug might look out of place. Similarly, you need to ensure that you are using the right rug for a room as there are different rugs for living rooms, dining rooms, prayer halls, etc.

Taking proper care of an antique rug is as important as taking pride in possessing one. You are spending a fortune for the rug, which means you need it safe and undamaged for a long time. This calls for different safety measures taken for the rug. Keeping it away from sunlight, padding it and hanging it on the wall are some ways in which you can secure it from getting worn out or damaged easily.

Antique rugs are big investment, and therefore you need to make sure that you are getting a genuine one. It is better to get the help of an expert while purchasing one if you cannot make out the original from the fake on your own. However, an antique rug with bright colours and beautiful patterns can make a big difference to your home, adding grace and richness to it.
