FAQs

Antique Kurdish rugs are traditionally woven by nomadic and village tribes inhabiting the mountainous regions bridging modern-day Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. They are historically recognised for their robust structures, deeply saturated vegetable-dyed wool, and distinct tribal geometry that often reflects local heritage.

Authentic pieces are characterised by handspun sheeps wool used for both the pile and the foundational warps and wefts. Weavers traditionally employed symmetrical or asymmetrical knots, often utilising naturally derived dyes such as madder root, indigo, and weld to achieve rich, long-lasting colours.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the irregularities in the hand-knotted pile, natural colour variation known as abrash, selvedge construction, and the organic nature of the wool. Handspun yarn often exhibits subtle thickness variations and minor asymmetries in the tribal motifs.

An antique tribal rug adds textural warmth and grounded grounding colour to contemporary spaces, serving as a focal point on hardwood or stone flooring. It complements minimalist modern furniture by introducing historical depth and organic pattern contrast.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater brush to protect the pile, alongside professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles. Direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight should be avoided to prevent natural dye fading.
