FAQs

Antique Afghan village rugs are hand-knotted textiles traditionally produced by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in Central Asia, often characterised by bold geometric motifs and rich natural dyes.

They are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, employing traditional symmetric or asymmetric knotting techniques.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the natural variations in hand-spun wool, the organic inconsistencies of vegetable dyes, structural irregularities, and hand-finished fringes and selvages.

These pieces function well as grounding elements in contemporary spaces, adding warmth, texture, and historical contrast beneath minimalist furniture or polished hardwood floors.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush, professional periodic cleaning by a specialist in antique textiles, and protection from direct, prolonged sunlight.
