FAQs

Shirvan rugs originate from the South Caucasus region and are recognized for their fine weave, dense pile, and geometric designs. They frequently feature central medallion fields, intricate star or diamond motifs, and stylized Kufic borders rendered in rich vegetable-dyed colours.

Authentic 19th-century Shirvan rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. The yarn is coloured using natural plant and mineral dyes, producing depth and tonal variations known as abrash.

Authenticity is indicated by a clean, flexible wool construction, hand-bound selvages, and natural dye colour variations across the weave. Geometric motifs, such as Kufic script borders and star medallions, along with a relatively flat profile, are typical structural markers.

A geometric Caucasian rug serves as a foundational element on exposed polished concrete, light oak, or dark parquet flooring. It complements dark leather upholstery, mid-century timber furniture, or minimalist neutral rooms requiring pattern and visual warmth.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush to protect the fibres. Use a quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and wear, rotate the rug annually to balance sunlight exposure, and consult a specialist restorer for deep cleaning.
