Antique Rugs vs. New Rugs
People with a passion for rugs may well be concerned with the age of the rug, and for various reasons. Enthusiasts will sense that older rugs have greater quality and personality than newer ones. They may also be interested in the investment potential of antique rugs, which will generally hold their value or appreciate over time. Even those who are not rug lovers may be interested in antiques as investments. But those who are in the market simply for attractive and practical floor covering are best served by a new rug, which, if well made with good materials, will meet such needs eminently well.
