RugRequest For the trade

Antique · Vintage · Decorative

Somebody has the rug
your client is asking for.

Describe the piece you are hunting. We send it to a private network of antique and vintage rug dealers across the United States, Europe and the Near East. If one of them has it, they come to you.

How it works

One form. One night. Answers from people who actually have inventory.

1

You describe the piece

Origin, size, period, palette, condition, budget. As specific or as loose as you want. Add a reference photo if your client sent you one.

2

The trade sees it

Your request goes out to our dealer network the same day. They see the rug you need. They do not see who you are.

3

Matches come to you

A dealer who has something close pays to reach you, and only then. No mass solicitation, no reselling of your details, capped at a handful of replies.

Post a request

Takes about two minutes. Nothing here is published publicly.

01 The rug

Tell us what you are hunting. Leave anything blank that does not matter.

Origin or group · choose any that work
Weave
Colours · what the room needs
02 Size

The single most useful field. Give the target and how much you can bend.

03 Condition and budget

Dealers self-select on these two. Being honest here saves everyone time.

Condition you can accept
You are open to
04 Anything else

A reference image is worth three paragraphs. Client photos are fine.

05 About you
🔒

This part is never shown. Dealers see the rug you described and nothing about you. Your name, company and contact details are released to a dealer only if they believe they have a match, and only to a handful of them. We never sell or publish your details.

Free to post. We review every request before it goes out, usually the same day. No obligation to buy from anyone who replies.

If you carry inventory, this is free money.

You already own rugs that somebody, somewhere, is hunting right now. RugRequest tells you when that happens.

  • No membership fee and no listing fee. Joining costs nothing.
  • You never upload your inventory. Nobody browses your stock.
  • You get the request by email. If you have the piece, you unlock the buyer.
  • Capped at a handful of dealers per request, so you are not one of twenty callers.
  • Bad lead? We refund it. No argument.
