Our collection of vintage carpets are 30 - 60 year old double knotted Turkish carpets. The materials are usually cotton and wool; the structure is wool on wool or wool on cotton.
The style is medallion, geometric or floral. Because vintage carpets are preexisting rugd and are not produced from scratch, it is difficult to find a different size of a desired carpet. Therefore, every rug is unique.
