A Thoughtful Approach
Here at Latham Vintage Rugs one of our main values is care in relationships and we put our customers at the center of all we do. Because we know buying vintage, especially online, can be intimadating we have made our buying process as transparent as possible. Not only do we obsessively source our rugs, we also work to share as much of our knowledge and tips and tricks with you so that the buying process can be joyful and empowering for you.
We partner with small, family-owned businesses and suppliers who have deep-seated roots in their trade. We believe that it's imperative to support other small business (just like us) rather than supporting large corporations that continue to manufacture and sell wasteful products. Our trusted suppliers source the highest quality rugs from artisans and craftsman all over the world which are then carefully selected by LVR and shared with you.
Choosing a Vintage Rug for Your Home

Or maybe you plan to design a room around one of these one-of-a-kind foundational pieces. Either way, rest assured that we painstakingly source, quality control, and curatethese pieces of art to make the process fun and crystal clear.

We organize our rugs into collections based on size and color tone, to help make your search simple. If you are searching for a bit more visual inspiration and curation, we offer edits - curated collections inspired by designers and creative pairings. And of course: we have our LVR Rug Finder Quiz for a collection curated just for you. Happy Hunting!
Latham Vintage Rugs was founded not only based on our love for these vintage textiles but with the mission of ushering these pieces of art from across the world to their new homes; where their history, tradition and story can be carried on by you.
From trial (and a good handful of error) we have built strong relationships with small businesses overseas that source only the highest quality vintage and antique rugs from around the world. These strong partnerships allow us to curate a collection of the most beautiful rugs and to offer these rugs to you, our customers, at fair prices.
And as always, we keep our customers at our core by making a nerve wracking process, warm, fun and deeply personal. We aim to provide you with knowledge and confidence at every touch point so that you are not only excited about your purchase but fully confident in it.
