FAQs

Originating from the eastern Caucasus region near Baku, Shirvan Khila rugs are recognised for their intricate geometric motifs, vibrant natural dyes, and central diamond medallions. Hand-woven during the late 19th century, these tribal textiles represent the rich weaving traditions of South Caucasian artisans.

These rugs were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation structure. Dyers utilised natural organic dyes extracted from local plants, roots, and minerals to achieve deep red, indigo blue, and ivory tones.

Authentic Shirvan carpets feature a low, dense wool pile secured with symmetrical knots, a flexible all-wool foundation, and geometric patterns such as stepped diamonds. Natural dye variations, known as abrash, are also characteristic indicators of age and authentic hand-dyeing processes.

Geometric Caucasian rugs add visual warmth, rich colour, and historical texture to modern living spaces. They function effectively as room anchors when placed beneath modern neutral seating, minimalist timber furniture, or alongside mixed-period antiques.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar to protect the hand-knotted pile. Rotate the rug annually to balance traffic wear and light exposure, and rely on professional hand-cleaning specialists for deep maintenance.
