Ultimate Guide to Vintage Rug Sources on Etsy
Many of you have asked me to put together the ultimate guide to vintage rug sources on Etsy post since there are so many vendors and options on the site. While most of my rugs are from the flea market (like the one in our living room), I have found some great rugs on Etsy. Plus, if you can’t make it to a flea market, Etsy is easy to shop at home (in your pjs!). Whether you want Persian rugs, kilim rugs or Moroccan rugs, you can find them all on Etsy.
Before we dive into the vintage rug sources, here are some tips when shopping for vintage rugs:
- While some wear is normal on vintage rugs and while imperfections add character, don’t buy a rug that is falling apart.
- Always ask for more pictures if you’re unsure about color, damage or the lighting. Just send the seller a message asking for what you need.
- Before you buy, double check shipping cost and return policy. While shipping can be fairly inexpensive for rugs, sometimes duties and taxes can add up for international shipping. When it comes to returns, make sure you can get your money back if the rug isn’t exactly what you expected or wanted.
- Always confirm sizing. Modern rugs come in standard sizes but not vintage rugs. Because vintage and antique are handmade, the sizes tend to be more unique.
