Why are vintage rugs so expensive?

A general rule of the thumb: the older an item, the higher the value you’ll have to pay for it. The most common reason why vintage rugs are expensive is because of their historical significance and intensive artisanal practice. Antique oriental rugs are more than just pieces of ornamental furniture for your living room. They are visual representations of masterful artistry, long hours of hard work, and culmination of the thousand years of cultural heritage. Age and rarity are some of the major determining factors. The level of artistry and originality are intrinsic factors that can also add up to its value.
