FAQs

Sivas rugs originating from central Anatolia are noted for their fine knotting, workshop precision, and diverse design inspirations that often incorporate classical Ottoman and Persian motifs alongside unique shawl patterns.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation structure, often utilizing natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects to achieve rich colour palettes.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the density and irregularity of the hand-knotting, the patina of the wool, the complexity of the natural dye variations, and the condition of the selvedges and fringe.

An antique rug serves as a foundational anchor in a room, contrasting effectively with contemporary furnishings by adding texture, historical depth, and warmth to minimalist or transitional schemes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing when necessary, protection from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and the use of a breathable rug underlay.
