Finding the Right Rugs and Carpets for You
Good antique rugs and vintage rugs have made their way into homes across the globe, becoming fixtures used for comfort, prayer and self-expression, so choosing the right area rug is officially a universal endeavor.
In modern usage, “carpet” typically denotes a wall-to-wall floor cushioning that is fixed to the floor. Rugs, on the other hand, are designed to cover a specific area and can easily be moved to new locations. However, the terms are interchangeable in many parts of the world, and, in the end, it won’t matter what you decide to call it.
It’s well known that a timeless Persian rug or vintage Turkish rug can warm any interior, but there are lots of other styles of antique rugs to choose from when you're endeavoring to introduce fresh colors and textures to a bedroom or living room.
Moroccan Berber rugs are not all about pattern. In fact, some of the most striking examples are nearly monochrome. But what these rugs lack in complexity, they make up for in brilliant color and subtle variation. Moroccan-style interiors can be mesmerizing — a sitting room of this type might feature a Moroccan rug, carved wooden screens and a tapestry hung behind the sofa.
Handwoven kilim rugs, known for their wealth of rich colors and unique weaving tradition, are pileless: Whereas the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco can be described as dense with a thick surface or pile, an authentic kilim rug is thin and flat. (The term “kilim” is Turkish in origin, but this type of textile artistry is practiced all across the Balkans, throughout the Arab world and elsewhere.)
When it comes to eye-catching floor coverings, the distinctive “medallion” pattern of Oushak rugs has two types of rounded shapes alternating against a rich red or blue background created with natural dyes, while the elaborate “star” pattern involves large eight-pointed shapes in diagonal rows alternating with diamonds.
If you’re looking for something unexpected, find a runner rug that pops in your hallway or on your stairs. Dig for dazzling geometric patterns in our inventory of mid-century modern rugs and carpets, which includes works designed by the likes of Swedish textile masters Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Marianne Richter and other artisans.
Carpets and rugs have been around for thousands of years. Prehistoric humans turned to animal skin, wool and fur to craft simple fabrics to soften hard terrain. A 2016 study suggests that "cave lions" were hunted for exactly this purpose, and that decorating your cave with their pelts may have conferred strength and prestige. Although many of these early textiles are still in existence, tracing their precise origins is difficult. Carpets quickly became such a valuable trade commodity that the weavings could easily travel far from their places of origin.
The oldest known carpet was found in southern Siberia. (It may have traveled there from Persepolis in Iran.) For the flat-weave floor rugs crafted by Native Americans, cotton was the primary material before sheep’s wool was introduced in the 16th century. In Europe, carpet-making was fundamental to folk art, and Asian carpets imported to European countries were at one time considered a precious luxury and not intended to remain permanently on the floor.
With the variety of area rugs and carpets rolled out for you on 1stDibs — a collection that includes traditional, modern, minimalist rugs and other coverings of all kinds — things will be looking up whenever you’re looking down.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a Navajo blanket or rug is real, examine the ends. On an authentic rug or blanket, the weaving is continuous. If the ends of the yarns appear tucked in, the item is not continuous and unlikely to be authentic. Find a range of expertly vetted Navajo blankets and rugs on 1stDibs.
- What is a Navajo blanket called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Navajo blankets are also known as “chief’s blankets”. They were referred to as such because in the days of trading, the blankets were so expensive that only the chiefs could afford them. You’ll find a variety of chief blankets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Navajo blankets are worth so much because they're extremely rare; only 50 of these first-phase blankets, which Ute Indians made until roughly 1865, survive today.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Navajo rugs are so expensive due to their exemplary craftsmanship and use of high quality wool. The tightness of the weaving, size of the rug, dyes used and condition all affect a Navajo rug's price. Prices for Navajo rugs typically range anywhere from $100 to a few thousand dollars. Find Navajo rugs and carpets now on 1stDibs.
- What do Navajo rugs represent?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Navajo rugs represent a form of creativity for the Navajo women who weaved them. The weavers adapted new patterns and materials into the original weaving technique, evolving the designs and styles over time. However, the technique has remained the same for centuries. Shop a variety of antique and vintage Navajo rugs on 1stDibs.
- How much is a Navajo rug worth?1 AnswerNazmiyalMarch 23, 2021That depends on how rare and collectible it is.
