FAQs

Bergama rugs originate from the town of Bergama in western Anatolia, a historic weaving centre known for producing distinctive village and tribal carpets featuring bold geometric motifs and rich natural dyes.

Authentic antique Anatolian rugs are traditionally constructed using handspun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft threads, often dyed using natural plant and insect extracts.

Authentication involves examining the hand-knotted construction, irregular selvages, natural colour variations in the wool, traditional mihrab arch designs, and the characteristic wear patterns associated with age.

These historical textiles can be displayed as floor coverings in low-traffic areas to add warmth and texture, or mounted on a wall as a focal point of textile art.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and professional hand-washing when cleaning is necessary.
