Woven with wool on cotton foundation, this authentic vintage rug measures 3' 11" x 10' 11" (47" x 131"). For a contemporary look with a vintage appeal, we source hand-knotted area rugs woven in the second half of the 20th century that are in excellent condition and carefully trim the piles to achieve an eye-catching “distressed” look. Bridging generations of artisanal skill with a charming look, they complement any modern or bohemian décor.
All our vintage rugs are professionally cleaned before we add them to our inventory.
