4 out of 5 starsA medium purchase-experience because the seller had not removed a dead spider with his web in the amphora, before sending it to me.
Cemal responded on May 6, 2026
Dear Birgitta, Thank you for your honest feedback, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight. Since our pieces are authentic vintage amphoras that have spent many years in storage, we carefully clean and inspect each item before shipping — but unfortunately, we missed this during the preparation of your order. We completely understand how unpleasant this must have been, and we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We will be even more careful with future inspections to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you again for your understanding and for supporting authentic vintage craftsmanship. 🙏

5 out of 5 starsThere was no mention I had to pay Customs fee. It read free shipping. I feel it should have been mentioned somewhere in listing. I now owe an additional $44.56.

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, sometimes customs may request extra taxes, I apologize for that. I will try to compensate you for it. 🙏

Frequently asked questions
Gift wrapping and packaging
I do offer a gift wrapping service for free! Just please let me know as soon as you place your order so that I can process and pack it correctly :)
Can I be sure that the color of the rug in photos will be the same in person?
I do my best to make sure rug colors are represented as accurately as possible.
There may be slight variations in what you see on your computer depending on the screen’s color, contrast, and brightness. Within the product descriptions, I will also note any inherent color variations.
If the color of your new rug is not what you were expecting, I am happy to work with you to get you the color you had envisioned.
Are your rugs professionally cleaned? Are they ready to use?
All the rugs I sell go through an extensive cleaning process to ensure that the quality is what you expect from a genuine vintage carpet. They are ready to use as soon as you receive them!
My rug has an imperfection. Why?
As vintage pieces, my rugs have natural wear and tear, but I think these imperfections only add to the beauty and timelessness of the rug. You may notice slight discolorations on the underside of the rug, but I ensure that the front-facing design of the rug meets all my standards for quality and does not detract from the overall aesthetic.
Why does my rug have white dots?
Some vintage rugs have visible tie-offs that look like white dots. They are part of the handmade process and occur where weavers tie off strings from the warp that can break during hand-weaving. They do not compromise the integrity of the rug in any way and can be more pronounced with low-pile shaven rugs.
Antique vs. Vintage?
According to most experts, "vintage" refers to an item 20 to 100 years old. If it is more than 100 years old, it's considered "antique".
How should I clean my rug?
I recommend that you regularly your vintage rug to remove dirt and dust. Depending on how heavily your rug is used, vacuuming just once or twice a month is adequate. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. Every few months, you’ll also want to flip your rug over and vacuum the back to get the dust out of the foundation of the rug. It also helps to rotate your rug by 180 degrees once a year to ensure even wear over time.
Why should I buy a vintage rug?
For so many reasons! Rug purists love that vintage rugs honor a rich tradition of artisan tapestry makers who meticulously weave and knot a rug by hand. Some purchase vintage because they favor the authenticity and elegance of a gently faded, worn-in look that distinguishes it from “vintage-like” new rugs that have been artificially faded. It’s also viewed as a way to reduce our carbon footprint by reclaiming a rug that is still in perfectly usable condition.
Regardless of the reason, the age and history of a vintage rug make a beautiful statement piece. The traditional handwoven, naturally-dyed process is labor intensive, but produces a rug that in the end is durable and ages gracefully.
