Experience The Difference-Why Us?

​

As in any item, it is the vision of the designer that is translated into the finished product. When the manufacturer is the designer, who has expertise and experience in all facets of rug making; mastering restoration, weaving, dying and color correction-it is of optimum benefit. This is a "qualitative difference" that is imperative when selecting a carpet dealer or manufacturer. Understanding the back end of weaving and the front end of client’s tastes and aesthetics of color and design harmony, is the difference that you experience, when dealing with Antique Rug Connection Inc. This company stands apart as wholesalers of Antique and Vintage rugs as well as Direct Manufacturers and Service Specialists.

Antique Rug Connection Inc. specializes in custom rugs, from their registered designs, and pioneered color ways, to client custom rug creations that can be made in any size, with color poms.

​

Antique Rug Connection Inc. has expanded their service offerings. A new service of "color reduction" is now offered to allow clients and retailers to retain their Investment-Quality Antique or Vintage rugs, but with the but with a modern and softer more “reduced” color palette.  Restoration, Professional Cleaning, Color Reduction and Appraisal are their service specialties. Antique Rug Connection Inc. not only understands the technical aspects, but also, the aesthetic integrity and tasteful color combinations that are a requirement of a beautiful handmade carpet which will capture a client's taste and reflect their lifestyle. Experience the difference with buying direct from the weavers, either through their specialty retailers, select designers or the company direct.
