Antique oriental and tribal rugs are characterised by handknotted wool construction, symmetrical or asymmetrical knotting techniques, and traditional motifs passed down through generations of makers.

Authentic pieces typically feature handspun wool piles knotted onto cotton or wool foundation warps and wefts, dyed using natural vegetable and insect-derived colorants.

Authentication involves examining the irregularity of hand knots on the reverse, assessing the natural patina and vegetable dye variations, and checking for hand-finished selvedges and fringes.

An antique rug can be layered over larger neutral natural-fibre carpets to add texture, warmth, and a focal point to modern living spaces or studies.

Preservation requires gentle, suction-only vacuuming without rotating brushes, professional hand-washing by textile specialists, and keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
