FAQs

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beat bar, rotate annually to distribute foot traffic evenly, and use a high-quality underlay to support the foundation knots.

The deep terracotta and rust-brown tones anchor contemporary minimalist spaces, modern rustic rooms, or traditional studies when layered over natural timber flooring.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature natural dye variations, supple hand-spun wool, characteristic tribal border elements, and dense hand-knotting with slight organic asymmetry.

These carpets were hand-knotted using wool pile on a wool foundation, utilising natural dyes derived from madder, indigo, and walnut husks to create rich red, aubergine, navy, and cream tones.

Yomut Turkmen carpets are traditional hand-knotted textiles crafted by nomadic Yomut tribes in Central Asia, characterised by repeating geometric tribal motifs known as guls, particularly the serrated diamond-shaped Kepse gul design.
