FAQs

A Verneh is a distinctive type of flatweave textile traditionally produced by tribal weavers in the Caucasus region, often characterised by intricate geometric compartments and striking iconography.

These textiles are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft, often utilising a Verneh technique which resembles embroidery or supplementary weft-wrapping.

Authentic pieces generally display natural organic dyes, characteristic hand-spun wool irregularities, traditional tribal motifs, and authentic age-related wear along the edges and foundation.

Such pieces can be used as floor coverings in living spaces or hung on walls as textile art, adding rich texture, historic character, and warmth to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Preservation involves gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and periodic professional cleaning by a specialist in antique carpets.
