Leading up to the launch of TUCK IN Issue Two, we curated a new collection of semi-antique rugs, available at Tuck. By spending so much time surrounded by these one-of-a-kind creations, we have learned that vintage rugs seem to have an irresistible charm that makes them more than just a decorative piece, and we are now completely obsessed! Vintage rugs are storytellers. With their bold colours and unique patterns being a tapestry, depicting the history of different bygone eras. Each hand-knotted Tuck Rug offers a blend of beauty, functionality, comfort, and sustainability that new rugs can lack. So, if you’re looking to add a touch of comfort and art to your space, here are five compelling reasons to fall in love and consider going with vintage rug options!
1. Character and Charm Galore:
Vintage rugs are like snowflakes – no two are exactly alike! Their one-of-a-kind patterns, vibrant colours, and intricate designs bring a unique flair to your home. They’re perfect for adding a dash of history and a whole lot of charm to any room. As a bonus, they're also great conversation starters, with many containing motifs of birds, flowers and other mystical things.
