Vintage Moroccan Rugs

Vintage Moroccan rugs have risen to the top of the style discourse as a result of the nostalgia era and the tendency toward classic design. However, the term "vintage rug" has been misused to the point where the distinctions between true vintage rugs and vintage-style rugs have become blurred, at best. Do you know what to look for when buying a vintage Moroccan rug to spice up a room and make it a talking piece in your home? Moroccan rugs have been around for millennia, and they have evolved into a unique culture in each region. Vintage Moroccan rugs are those that are more than 20 years old and have been kept by the excellence of their craftsmanship—and, most likely, by a lot of TLC over time. These vintage rugs are frequently distressed (like jeans) to provide that "lived-in" effect, but they do not require the same level of maintenance as an antique rug. Because of their age and material, vintage Moroccan rugs may require slightly more care than other types of rugs. Do not vacuum a vintage Moroccan rug; instead, shake away crumbs and dirt as they accumulate. Hand-held rug sweepers that are not powered by electricity can remove finer particles from the carpeting. Accidents will happen regardless of how diligent you are. Because it is impractical to plastic wrap your living spaces, prepare to gently clean stains with a light detergent and warm water. Furthermore, keep your vintage Moroccan rug out of the sun and away from windows that receive more than a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Otherwise, the colors could fade.
