What the ground changes
Rug buying in Wavre
Hand-knotted rugs bought in Brussels: valuation from photographs, free collection, immediate payment.
The building stock
Wavre is the administrative capital of the province of Walloon Brabant. It covers 42.06 km² at a density of 844.34 inhabitants/km², and only 37% of its building stock consists of detached houses (2023) — the lowest proportion of the three municipalities measured by the Maison de l'urbanisme du Brabant wallon.
It is in that building stock that the rugs we buy lie sleeping: interwar attics, reception rooms, landing cupboards.
The rug market
The Wednesday market (8.00-13.00), which occupies the place Cardinal Mercier, the rue Haute, the rue du Chemin de Fer, the rue de Nivelles, the rue du Pont du Christ and the quai aux Huîtres, brings together around 200 stalls and is presented by the town as the largest in Walloon Brabant. It is attested from 1292. A second, smaller market is held on Saturday mornings.
That is the circuit through which a rug changes hands here. We are the direct alternative to it: no waiting, no commission, payment the same day.
Collection
The Wavre North business park covers 186 hectares and brings together 349 companies for more than 13,400 jobs; a further 18-hectare project is under way for R&D and biotechnology. It comes on top of the South business park. GSK has committed an investment of €250 million there in a new vaccine production unit.
Buying a rug is not just a valuation: it is also thirty kilos of rug to get out of your home. We settle that point before we come.
The division is simple and it rules things out: we buy what is hand-knotted, knot by knot on a loom. A machine-made rug comes out of a machine; a tufted one is punched into a backing cloth and then glued. Neither of them has collectors' value, and no specialist buyer takes them.
Within our field: Persians (Tabriz, Kashan, Heriz, Qom, Bidjar, Baluch), Anatolians, Caucasians, Afghans with guls, silk rugs, flat-woven kilims and whole estate lots. A Berber with a long pile is a decorative piece: we will look at it, with no promise in advance.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you also work on office fitted carpets in the Wavre business parks?
Yes. The Wavre North business park alone brings together 349 companies and more than 13,400 jobs on 186 hectares, with the South business park on top of that: it is the leading office hub in Walloon Brabant. We work in the evening or at weekends so as not to interrupt business, with techniques suited to carpet tiles, stairwells and traffic areas. Direct access via the E411 allows us to cover several floors in the same day.
Do you buy machine-made rugs?
No. A machine-woven or tufted rug has no collectors' value and finds no specialist buyer. The close-up of the knotting is enough to settle it: on a hand-knotted rug, every knot is visible on the back and the design appears sharp there; on a machine-made one, the back is smooth, regular, often backed with a glued cloth.
My rug is moth-eaten and stained. Is it still worth anything?
Yes, in most cases. The larva eats the keratin in the wool, not the cotton of the warp: the structure holds, and a moth-eaten area can be re-knotted. The rug keeps its origin, its density and its age, that is to say the essence of what makes its price. Do not throw it away before showing it to us.
