FAQs

Shirvan rugs originate from the South Caucasus region, renowned for their fine hand-knotted wool construction and detailed geometric patterns. Produced predominantly during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these rugs feature intricate medallion designs and rich natural dyes.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation structure. Natural plant-based and mineral dyes were historically employed to produce deep blues, terracottas, and cream tones.

Authentic pieces feature hand-tied knots visible on the underside, flexible wool foundations, and minor variations in weave characteristic of tribal craftsmanship. The presence of natural dye abrashsubtle colour variations across the woolalso indicates authentic period production.

A geometric Caucasian rug introduces texture and historical depth when placed over hardwood or stone flooring. It works effectively as an accent piece in contemporary living spaces, contrasting with clean-lined furniture or complementing rich timber tones.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents dust build-up within the wool fibres. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean dry cloth, and professional hand-washing by a specialist restorer is recommended for deep cleaning.
