10 Easy Pieces: Vintage Area Rugs

April 20, 2022

A vintage rug is like a vintage tee shirt with a perfect lived-in feel that only comes with time. You can seek out every flea market and estate sale in town but wouldn’t it be so much easier if you could select a vintage rug from a crop of pre-edited selects? Buying a vintage rug online is certainly a different experience—maybe a little less romantic but certainly more direct. Below are our 10 favorite sources for finding the rug of your dreams.
