FAQs

Antique Kazak rugs are hand-knotted woolen floor coverings traditionally woven by tribal weavers in the Caucasus region during the 19th and early 20th centuries, recognised for their bold geometric patterns and saturated primary colours.

These rugs are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, dyed with natural vegetable and insect colourants, and secured with hand-finished overcast edges.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular geometry of hand-knotted motifs, natural variations in the wool pile, the presence of vegetable dyes, and the natural oxidisation of dark brown yarns.

An antique tribal rug functions effectively as a grounding element on hardwood floors, adding texture and colour contrast when paired with minimalist or modern mid-century furniture.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing every few years, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to prevent fading.
