The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Baluch carpets are traditional textiles hand-woven by nomadic Baluch tribes living in eastern Iran and western Afghanistan. They are renowned for dark, saturated colour palettes featuring indigo blues, deep terracottas, and purples with intricate geometric or medallion motifs.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for the pile, woven onto a wool or goat hair warp and weft foundation.

Authentic late 19th-century pieces display natural dyes, soft lustrous wool, dark colour tones, woven flat-weave ends, and subtle colour variations known as abrash.

Dark tribal rugs serve as anchoring elements in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with dark leather, mid-century timber furniture, or minimalist interiors to provide depth and texture.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotating brush, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and treat spills immediately with a clean cloth and cool water.
