FAQs
Many of our items are one-off pieces that we have carefully chosen for their unique character, so once sold we cannot re-order the exact same pieces again. We are able to source similar so please browse our archive pages for inspiration and let us know if you'd like us to find something in a similar style.
You will find that most of our vintage pieces are 2m wide or less because the looms they were made on had to be transported by hand. If you seek a larger rug, our contemporary pieces are made using traditional techniques on larger looms designed for modern living spaces. Alternatively our vintage Turkish Oushaks were also sometimes made on larger looms.
We have a mixture of vintage pieces as well as contemporary. Our vintage items are professionally cleaned and lovingly restoried (if needed) but some sign of usage is to be expected. We believe the imperfections add to the beauty, character and story of each piece.
While the materials vary between each style of rug, all are made with natural and sustainable materials including (but not limited to) hemp, wool, cotton, jute and cane.
Like most things, our pieces require regular maintenance in order to last as long as possible. This includes regular vacuuming, rotation and periodic professional cleaning. How long they ‘last’ does depend on whether they are vintage or contemporary but as they are made from premium, natural materials (not synthetic) they will easily outlast similar synthetic products ten-fold, if not more.
