A newly woven rug that copies the designs of much older rugs and is often finished to look aged, with a clipped low pile, stone washing, sun exposure and softly shaded natural dyes, although it has no real age. Peshawar (Chobi) rugs, and Oushak-style and Kazak-style rugs woven in Pakistan, are typical examples. Because old patterns keep being recreated, design alone cannot date a rug, and wear is an unreliable guide too. Experts look instead at the color: natural dyes fade gently down the pile fiber from tip to base, while treated color tends to look bleached with a sharp band. A supposedly very old rug with no repairs at all may be a recent copy.
