About Our Rugs
Since 2016 we've been working directly with local family businesses, artisan makers and specialist carpet traders across Morocco to source our rugs.
Vintage rugs are mostly aged between 30 - 80 years old.
They are all unique one-offs, authentic vintage finds and handmade items - so areas of wear, imperfect shapes, slight variations in size, loose threads and discolourations in areas are all part of buying rugs of this age and handmade nature.
We take great care to accurately describe and show the condition, colours and texture of our rugs in our online photography - including shooting in natural light and from different angles to give you as close to in-real-life representation as possible.
We are always happy to provide more photos and information of our rugs before you purchase.
If in doubt, please get in touch first before completing your order.
Rug Cleaning & Care
We recommend light vacuuming and occasionally hanging your rug outside in the sunshine for some fresh air.
For small spills and stains spot cleaning can be done straight away with mild soapy water.
For tougher stains we recommend to use a professional rug cleaning service that specialises in vintage and antique carpets.
