My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

overdyed rugs

10 years ago

Is there anywhere else to get an authentic overdyed rug besides ABC carpet?

Featured Answer
  • 10 years ago
    Esale rugs.com sells what they call "ultra-vintage" hand-knotted Persians that have been cleaned, overdyed, and shaved down. I've bought a couple of rugs from esale and have been very pleased with their service and with the cleanliness and quality of their wool Orientals. There are also a couple of vendors on eBay that sell overdyed Persians, but I'd recommend extreme caution. I once ordered a textile from one of those vendors and it arrived stinking of cat urine. When I complained, they basically implied that I was some dope who didn't understand that vintage products will have flaws. I was so, uh...pissed. Anyway, we worked it out, but I would never buy another used product without some assurance that it had been cleaned.
