Collection: Small Rugs

These vintage hand-knotted rugs were originally woven for everyday use in homes across regions like Anatolia and Persia. Their smaller dimensions often feature bold motifs, repeating patterns, or soft abrash, all developed over decades of use. Each piece carries the character of its origin while adapting effortlessly to modern interiors.

Where Small Rugs Work Best

Small vintage rugs offer flexibility across a variety of settings:

• Entryways: Create a warm welcome with a piece that instantly adds texture and history.
• Kitchens: Place in front of the sink or prep areas for comfort underfoot and visual interest.
• Hallways & Nooks: Fill unused corners or transitional spaces with vintage detail.
• Bathrooms: Use as a distinctive alternative to standard mats, adding softness and style.
• Layered Arrangements: Pair with larger neutral rugs to build depth and contrast in living rooms.

Their manageable size makes them easy to reposition, rotate, or layer as your layout evolves.

Why Vintage Small Rugs Stand Out

1. Authentic hand-knotted craftsmanship in compact, practical dimensions.
2. Unique patterns and dyes that bring personality to overlooked spaces.
3. Easy to layer, style, and move from room to room.
4. Durable construction made to last for generations.
5. Each piece carries cultural history and distinctive patina.

Materials and Weaving Tradition

Small rugs were often woven with the same care and techniques as larger room-sized pieces. Typically made with wool pile on cotton or wool foundations, they feature geometric layouts, floral repeats, or tribal motifs. With time, natural dyes soften, and the wool develops a warm, textured surface that enhances their charm.

Many small rugs were originally used near doorways, beside beds, or layered inside tents and village homes, giving them a unique blend of practicality and artistry.

Styling Vintage Small Rugs

Use small rugs as focal accents in narrow or transitional spaces, or layer them strategically to add dimension to larger layouts. Their patterns pair well with both simple modern furniture and more collected interiors.

In kitchens and bathrooms, their dense wool pile provides comfort and warmth underfoot. In living spaces, layering them over a neutral base rug draws attention to their design and adds depth to the room.

Lighting plays an important role in bringing out abrash and pattern variation—place them where natural light can highlight their vintage surface.
