The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from northwestern Iran, Tabriz carpets are distinguished by their high knot density and complex compositions, often featuring central medallions, elaborate palmettes, and fine floral arabesques.

High-grade silk carpets utilize pure silk threads for both the pile and foundation (warp and weft), producing a dense weave, crisp pattern definition, and a soft, luminous sheen.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight natural variations in the weave, flexible backings with visible individual knots, and a distinct colour shift depending on the angle of light hitting the silk pile.

Traditional silk carpets are frequently placed as grounding anchor pieces within minimalist or modern settings, providing texture, historical contrast, and color balance against neutral furnishings.

Silk carpets should be positioned away from prolonged direct sunlight, vacuumed using suction only without a rotating brush, and professionally cleaned using specialized dry or low-moisture methods.
