FAQs

Antique Persian tribal rugs are hand-knotted by nomadic and village weavers using traditional geometric motifs, tribal symbols, and natural plant-based dyes passed down through generations.

They typically feature hand-spun wool pile foundation yarns, wool warp and weft threads, and asymmetric or symmetric knots tied manually on vertical or horizontal looms.

Authenticity is identified through irregularities in weave, natural abrash colour variations, hand-spun wool texture, organic dye oxidation, and traditional regional motifs.

An antique tribal rug provides grounding texture and pattern, pairing effectively with minimalist contemporary furnishings, neutral upholstery, and organic wood tones to create a balanced aesthetic.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand washing when necessary, rotation to ensure even wear, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
