What is an Overdyed Persian rug?
An overdyed Persian rug refers to a rug that has been treated with a specific process and wash — it involves bleaching, color saturation and drying. The washed rug is overdyed, which creates deep and rich color that is uneven compared to that of a new rug. This will give it a vintage appearance and it is guaranteed to stand out in any space.
