FAQs

Caucasian Shirvan rugs originate from the eastern Caucasus region and are characterised by precise geometric patterns, fine hand-knotted wool construction, and rich natural dyes.

These rugs are traditionally constructed using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft, utilising durable symmetric knots.

Authentic examples feature hand-spun wool with subtle colour variations known as abrash, flexible handles, and natural dye oxidation over time.

A geometric Caucasian rug serves as a focal point in contemporary or classic spaces, providing textural depth and anchoring neutral seating arrangements.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating suction head, prompt spot-cleaning with mild soapy water, and periodic professional hand-washing preserve the natural wool fibres.
