Vintage / Distressed Rugs

A vintage distressed style rug is a new or authentic vintage rug that has been intentionally treated to look old, faded, and worn, mimicking natural aging and wear. Techniques like acid washing, bleaching, over-dyeing, and shearing the pile create softer colors, a weathered appearance, and exposed underlying patterns. These rugs add character, warmth, and a timeless, lived-in feel to modern and traditional interiors without the high cost of truly ancient pieces.
