FAQs

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotary brush, rotate the rug annually to ensure uniform foot traffic wear, and rely on professional specialist rug cleaners for deep cleaning.

Anchor a contemporary living room or formal dining space by pairing the deep crimson and navy tones with natural timber flooring and neutral linen or leather upholstery.

Authentic examples feature asymmetrical Persian knots, precise structural alignment, muted natural dyes, and balanced central medallions with detailed floral vine scrolling.

These carpets are typically hand-knotted using high-grade wool or silk pile spun onto a durable cotton or silk foundation, yielding a high knot density and intricate pattern resolution.

Isfahan rugs originate from the city of Isfahan in central Iran, renowned since the Safavid period for fine hand-knotted weaving featuring complex floral arabesques and central medallion motifs.
