Room-first thinking

Antique Distressed Lilihan, 8'8" x 16'1"—a generous field of worn rose and time-softened florals that steadies a large room.

The anchor

A floor that finishes the thought

Old soul, wide stance

Big rooms can look costly yet unfinished when the floor reads blank or underscaled.
The 8.5x16 Antique Distressed Lilihan Carpet brings proportion and a clear color story, so furniture feels connected rather than floating.
Its age-washed pattern settles the eye and gathers seating into a single conversation.
The room finally holds together.

Color that listens

Scale sets tone.
This Lilihan’s elongated reach carries warmth, softens sound, and gives artwork and upholstery something to answer to.
The faded rose ground and muted border feel lived-in from day one, creating a collected focal point underfoot without shouting.

For spaces that host

Someone shaping a living room, dining room, bedroom, entry, gallery wall, or studio seating area that needs a grounded center at true room scale.

Where it lives

Lay it beneath the main seating or table so legs land on the field and the border frames the group.

Craft and heritage

Old New House® Legacy

Old New House® brings a generational eye to hand‑picked vintage and antique rugs. Dave draws on a four‑generation line on his mother’s side and a five‑generation lineage on his father’s side in designing, manufacturing and importing hand knotted rugs dating to the mid‑1800s. Together with Melissa—who photographs and edits every listing—they curate each textile and also make one‑of‑a‑kind furniture and pillows. Operating from a flagship showroom in the NYC suburbs and balancing family life with two young children, they prioritize quality, craftsmanship, and the decorative story behind each piece. If you want authentic hand‑knotted construction presented with thoughtful photography and considered editing, Old New House® offers highly curated, sustainable‑luxury choices that sit comfortably in modern interiors.
