FAQs

Shirvan carpets originate from the eastern Caucasus region and are renowned for their detailed hand-knotted construction, dense wool pile, and intricate geometric arrangements.

These carpets are typically woven entirely from hand-spun wool on wool warps and wefts, utilising natural plant and mineral dyes to produce rich blues, reds, ivories, and ochres.

Authentic pieces exhibit fine hand-knotted knotting density, flexible wool backing, subtle variations in natural dye tones (abrash), and precise geometric or repeating lattice motifs.

A geometric Caucasian carpet serves as a structural anchor on hardwood floors, layering warmth and historic texture beneath neutral furniture in contemporary or traditional spaces.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and arrange professional cleaning by a textile specialist when required.
