FAQs

Traditional oriental carpets have centuries-old roots in various regions across Asia and the Middle East, where skilled artisans utilized local natural materials and time-honoured weaving techniques to produce durable floor coverings with distinct regional motifs.

These pieces are typically constructed using hand-spun wool, cotton foundations, and natural dyes derived from plants and minerals, assembled via meticulous hand-knotting techniques that ensure structural longevity.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular knot count on the reverse side, the patina of natural dyes, variations in weave tension, and the wear patterns indicative of age rather than artificial distressing.

An antique rug can be integrated into contemporary spaces by placing it on neutral flooring to act as a grounded focal point, adding warmth, texture, and historical contrast to minimalist or modern design schemes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing by textile conservators, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, and utilizing breathable rug underlays.
