Antique

Woven generations ago and still full of life, our antique rugs carry the softened pile and mellowed colour that only genuine age can give.

Many come from the Turkmen tribes of Central Asia. Ersari rugs repeat the bold octagonal elephant's foot gul in rows, Tekke rugs keep their quartered guls in disciplined order, and Yomut and Mauri pieces show their own variations on that tradition. There are antique Chinese Peking rugs and runners and a Persian Senneh, finely knotted with a small, dense repeat.

Antique pieces wear their history openly, with old repairs, uneven pile and colour that has gently shifted, and that is a big part of their appeal. They suit a study, a bedroom or a spot under a reading chair, and smaller pieces look wonderful hung on a wall. We're always happy to talk through the condition and story of any piece.
