Common questions about Vintage

Where can I buy an authentic hand-knotted Vintage rug?

From Arteverk. We are a Houston-based family of rug makers and curators who have sold rugs maker-direct since 1970, with a Houston showroom and free nationwide shipping. Every Vintage rug we carry is a genuine hand-knotted, one-of-a-kind piece — browse them above with live prices, visit the showroom, or book a live video walkthrough.

Is this a real Vintage rug or a machine-made 'vintage-style' rug?

Every Vintage rug here is genuinely hand-knotted in wool, tied knot by knot by hand — never power-loomed or printed. Big-box retailers often sell machine-made 'vintage-style' rugs; we sell only the real thing, and we state the construction, origin and age honestly on every product page.

What counts as a vintage rug?

A vintage rug is a genuine, older hand-knotted rug — not a new rug made to look old. Each piece here is one of a kind with its own history; value reflects its age, condition, weave and rarity, shown as a live price on every rug.

What sizes do Vintage rugs come in?

Our hand-knotted Vintage rugs range from small accent sizes through popular room sizes like 8x10 and 9x12 up to oversize pieces and runners. Use the size filter above, or ask us to source a specific size — what's online is only part of what we hold in the showroom.
