Back onto the topic of rugs. I much prefer aging area rugs. Every day I get to walk on a 100+ yr old runner. It is still beautiful even though it doesn't have very much pile left on it and the sides were recently re-wrapped. Clients love it and some try not to walk on it especially after we tell them how old it is. Our shop is filled with rugs on the floor, giving our shop an authentic rug shop feel.

We have nine area rugs in our entry and all are different. In the top right hand of the picture you can see a chair that is covered in a orange Dhurrie. A great use for a area rug that may have damage on one end. Another good use is to get the rug turned into cushion covers.
In the top right of picture is a yellow and blue Chobi, the one next to it is a Persian hand knotted, in the top left is another Chobi, the one on top of the runner is Turkish, the runner is ?Serapi? (spelling is wrong), bottom middle area is a Persian Sarouk, the bottom left is a War rug depicting the fight between Afghanistan and USSR in 2002, on top of the Sarouk is a Turkoman, and under the bench is a cork rug that we can make for clients, not recommended as it stains and marks up very easily.
Clients tell us that they love the feel of our shop. It takes them back to when they were traveling and bought their area rug. For the clients who don't own a hand knotted rug yet, our entry gets them inquiring about where to buy such a rug. Luv-A-Rug can recommend the best places to buy rugs in Victoria, depending on your decor taste, budget and size of rug needed.
Thank You for reading, RugloverMary!
