Nothing can beat the colours of an Antique rug. The ageing of good quality wool and natural dyes is what brings about such good decorative colours. While they can be quite expensive, but if you can get them in a shabby chic state, you have most of an antique rug’s characteristics without the pile condition. The other plus point is that you get them at a fraction of the price. This Shiraz rug, with its terrific hues of red and blue, fits the bill very well.
