FAQs

Antique Caucasian rugs are hand-knotted carpets produced in the Caucasus region, historically encompassing areas between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, known for their distinct geometric patterns and rich natural dyes.

These rugs are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft. Natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects were traditionally utilised to achieve deep, saturated hues.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-knotted structure, irregular knot counts on the reverse, natural dye variations, type of wool, and wear patterns consistent with age and handcrafting techniques.

An antique rug can serve as a grounded anchor in a contemporary space, contrasting clean-line modern furniture with historical texture, rich colour, and intricate geometric storytelling.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles, and keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
