Vintage & Distressed Area Rugs

If you love the faded, lived-in look of an old rug, start with our distressed rugs. This collection brings together hand-knotted wool rugs with a softly worn finish. Some are vintage rugs that were never used, finished by hand with a lava stone that wears the pile down for the look of an antique. Others are vintage style rugs with Tabriz and other Persian designs, and some are hand-painted rugs: laid in the sun to soften the original color, sheared low and painted with new color area by area. Each low pile rug lies flat, so it works well under dining chairs and doors, and the muted colors blend with modern, eclectic and Scandinavian rooms. A distressed area rug gives a new room the worn look of a rug with history. Each rug is one of a kind. Shipping in the US is free and returns are accepted for 14 days.
