Sell Us Your Old Rug. Trade-In Available
We have been in business since 1968 and have our own product lines ranging from 100% pure silk rugs to wool. What we cannot make are the old rugs, vintage, and antique because they must come with passage of time.
Old rugs we purchase from you have meet certain criteria such as follows:
- Minimum age of rug we buy is 30 years
- No viscose, no polypropylene yarn, no polyester, no mixture of synthetic and wool, no bamboo silk, no acrylic, no synthetic whatsoever.
- We do not carry anything synthetic in our collections.
- All-natural medium such as wool, silk, cashmere, or camel hair.
- Only 100% handmade. No machine-made, no hand-finish after machine-made, no gimmick.
- Only traditionally hand-knotted, hand-woven. (Read the Bespoke page and see one of our artisans weaving.)
- Some damage is OK. We will repair, so keep it as-is.
In summary, if your rug is machine made, throw it away - do not send us inquiries. If your rug is from a local retail store where you have paid less than USD 6,000, the odds are that we have no interest in buying your rug. What we consider buying are arts - not cheap consumables; and we are not your garbage-collector.
Please be 100%-transparent in your commercial dealing with us. Each rug is unique, so we must look at your rug. Please send us several pictures at denarug67@gmail.com, pictures in the same or similar manner as that we normally present our rugs (refer to our collections for how we present a rug: entire front, entire back, folded fringe, and close-up photos of the front and back). The very close-up photo reveals the knots and structure, foundation of the rug.
Please also include such basic info such as size and material. Describe the conditions to your best knowledge, such conditions as fraying, any rip or tear, and discoloration. Tell us how long you have had it in your possession.
Alternative to outright sale to us, you may also choose to trade in your rug for another in our collection or inventory not yet listed. Tell us a design and size that you like. We may have it in our inventory.
