FAQs

Shirvan rugs originate from the southeastern Caucasus region and are recognised for their dense hand-knotted construction, geometric patterns, and intricate multi-bordered frames. Produced primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these textiles often incorporate stylized animal motifs, medallions, and tribal symbols.

Shirvan rugs are woven predominantly using natural wool for both the pile and warp foundation. The pile is secured with symmetric knots, creating a relatively low, finely detailed surface texture coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentication relies on examining the weave density, flexible handle, and natural dye characteristics, which often display subtle colour variations known as abrash. Authentic pieces feature hand-bound selvedges and geometric design elements characteristic of regional tribal weaving traditions.

The dark tones and bold geometric motifs of a Shirvan rug offer visual grounding in contemporary, mid-century, or traditional spaces. Placing the textile on neutral timber or polished stone flooring highlights the hand-woven detail while introducing historic texture.

Vacuuming should be performed without a rotating brush bar to protect the hand-knotted pile and fringe ends. Professional hand-washing by a specialist textile restorer is advised for deep cleaning, alongside rotating the carpet periodically to ensure even wear.
