More about our pottery collections here
Nouvelle Nomad rugs and textiles are authentic vintage finds mostly aged between 30 - 80 years old, or crafted from vintage textiles.
Due to their age, handwoven and unique nature - irregularities in shape, colour, and signs of wear, previous use and age must be expected, and are what add to their beauty, character and value.
Any questions you have about our rugs, their origins, where and how we source, for more photos of an item or advice on how to care for your new rug - please get in contact at any time.
CARE
OUR WASH AND REPAIRS PROCESS
The restoration process for authentic vintage rugs is a slow and skilful one. Each of our rugs is hand washed and repaired in Morocco before being shipped to our Australian showroom or their new homes around the world.
First - hand washed with water, mild detergents with a big soapy brush, removing any dirt, stains and smells from it's prior life. Then hung out in the Moroccan sunshine to dry naturally.
Then - any repairs required are done by hand by skilled artisans in the traditional methods and with materials to best suit the rug and its origins. This often includes re-tasseling the ends, re-finishing or strengthening borders, patching of holes and tiding of loose threads with yarns and wool that closely match the colours and textures of the design.
CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE RUG
Rugs should be vacuumed regularly, and occasionally hung outside in the sunshine and fresh air to freshen them up and get rid of any loose dirt. Allowing them some time in the sun naturally kills off any bacteria, smells or moisture that may have built up with every day use.
For storage, always roll rather than fold your rug to avoid creasing. Store in a breathable cotton wrap or bedsheet. Never store in plastic, as wool sweats and needs to breath.
The natural dyes in the older style rugs will fade over time, especially if placed in direct sunlight, and with usual wear and age. So please keep this in mind when choosing it's positioning in your home.
While the natural dyes are mostly colour fast - occasionally the deeper red and black dye colours have been know to bleed or transfer onto other surfaces when wet - so please keep this in mind before placing on carpets or upholstery.
CLEANING YOUR VINTAGE RUG
For grubby marks we recommend only ever using mild soapy water to spot clean your carpet, tested on a small area first. Chemical cleaners and vintage textiles are definitely not friends - so keep cleaning simple and to the basics.
If your carpet is in need of a deeper clean due to spills, pets or heavy wear, contact a professional rug cleaning service in your area that specialise in cleaning vintage and antique rugs.
If you're in Melbourne we recommend the Melbourne Rug Wash
Ask for an eco friendly anti-bacterial wash, and an anti-urine treatment if you have pets in the house.
STUFFING YOUR CUSHION OF POUF
Use store bought inserts in a slightly larger size to your cushions. For eco friendly options online we recommend Innergreen
For a heavier and fuller fill you can also use recycled textiles (clothing, bedlinen, etc) you may have lying around the house to stuff your floor cushion or pouf.
There's an article here for more info on this.
CARPET UNDERLAY AND RUG PADS
If you're placing your rug on floor boards or a concrete surface you may want to consider a non slip rug pad for underneath your carpet. (Although not essential)
We offer custom sized rug pads cut to size, made from recycled and natural breathable materials. Just get in contact for pricing.
Or you can buy these cut to size from any commercial carpet laying shop or rug cleaning centre.
