antique rug
Old woven floor-covering
An antique rug is a handwoven carpet typically at least 80 to 100 years old, valued for its craftsmanship, design, and provenance.
Persian, Turkish, and Caucasian rugs dominate the category.
Age alone doesn't determine value—condition, rarity, and artistry matter: The antique rug had worn spots but retained its vivid vegetable dyes.
Dealers distinguish antique rugs from merely vintage ones.
