FAQs

Ahar carpets originate from the town of Ahar in northwestern Iran, situated within the broader Heriz weaving region. While sharing the durable construction of traditional Heriz rugs, Ahar designs are distinguished by softer, more curvilinear floral patterns mixed with classic bold geometric structures.

Authentic Persian carpets are woven using hand-spun wool pile tied onto a heavy cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable and mineral dyes are traditionally employed to achieve rich tones of rust, indigo, ivory, and ochre.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tied Turkish (Ghiordes) knots visible on the underside, displaying slight human irregularities in pattern. The back of the rug will clearly mirror the design on the front, and the wool pile feels heavy, firm, and textured rather than synthetic or uniform.

Traditional Persian carpets serve as foundational anchors in both classical and contemporary spaces. The deep rust and navy tones pair well with neutral upholstery, natural timber floors, and structured architectural furniture to add warmth and visual depth.

Regular maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without the use of a rotating brush or beater bar to protect the pile fibers. Spills should be blotted immediately with a dry cloth, and professional washing by a specialist rug restorer is recommended every few years.
