Are Secondhand Persian Carpets Refurbished?

What does 'refurbished Persian carpet' mean?

Refurbished is a vague term, so it’s important to clarify what is meant when referring to a refurbished Persian carpet.

Refurbished implies that it has been renovated or renewed in some way, so we can infer that is not new, it had a previous owner – it’s a secondhand carpet or a used carpet.

Since Persian carpets are durable products made from natural materials with a long lifespan, not all secondhand Persian carpets are in need of a massive overhaul.  Often they just need a clean or a small repair to be good as new.

What a refurbished Persian carpet could mean

Carpets experience different levels of use, so its important to understand what aspects of the carpet has been renewed.

If a carpet is described as refurbished, one or more of the following things may have been done:

* Nothing much, maybe just a vacuum?

* Maybe it was professionally cleaned?

* Maybe it was repaired?

All our Secondhand Persian carpets are professionally cleaned prior to sale.  They have no tears or holes – some may have repairs, either to the carpet body, the sides or the fringe.  The rugs have various heights of pile, depending on how much traffic they have seen – this affects the pricing.  Carpets with higher pile are more expensive.

Why it's good to choose a refurbished Persian carpet

The benefits of choosing a refurbished Persian carpet:

* its cheaper

* it stops a product from ending up in landfill

* its environment friendly – recycling durable items made from cotton and wool is more ethically responsible than supporting the mass production of petroleum based products that have a limited lifespan

* its more practical – if you have a family, you don’t want to be too precious about your decor which will happen if you spend a fortune on a new carpet.  Rather choose something that is cheaper, that won’t be marred by the first bit of wear.
