FAQs

Tribal and village rugs were traditionally woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic groups using locally sourced wool and natural vegetable dyes. Each piece often featured distinct geometric motifs and symbolic patterns passed down through generations within specific weaving communities.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed entirely from handspun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundational warp and weft threads. They utilise manual knotting techniques, such as the symmetrical or asymmetrical knot, resulting in a durable textile that develops character over decades.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregularities in the weave, the composition of the natural dyes which may show abrash or subtle colour variations, and the condition of the hand-finished selvedges and fringes. Natural wool pile should feel lanolin-rich and resilient rather than synthetic.

An antique runner adds texture and warmth to modern transitional spaces, serving as an effective anchor in narrow hallways, kitchens, or alongside a bed. Pairing traditional patterns with minimalist furniture creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar to protect the fibres, alongside professional cleaning when necessary. Keeping the textile away from direct, prolonged sunlight prevents the fading of natural dyes.
