The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Shirvan carpets originate from the southeastern Caucasus region and were produced primarily throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. They are renowned for their high knot density, intricate geometric field patterns, and precise craftsmanship reflective of regional tribal weaving traditions.

Authentic Shirvan carpets are crafted using natural wool for both the pile and the warp and weft foundation. The yarn is coloured using traditional vegetable and organic dyes, producing rich tones of indigo blue, madder red, and ivory.

Authentic Shirvan rugs typically feature a low, dense pile, flexible wool foundation, and fine geometric designs such as stars, diamonds, or lattice work. The selvedges are usually bound in wool, and the reverse side clearly displays small, crisp knotting without synthetic backing.

A geometric Caucasian rug serves as a strong visual anchor when placed over neutral timber floorboards or polished concrete. The deep indigo and madder red tones contrast effectively with contemporary minimalist furniture or complement classic dark wood joinery.

Preserve antique wool carpets by using a quality rug pad beneath to prevent movement and fibre wear. Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush bar, rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear, and clean spills immediately with a clean damp cloth.
