FAQs

Afshar rugs are woven by semi-nomadic and settled tribes in south-east Persia, historically recognised for their stiffly geometric patterns, characteristic boteh motifs, and rich indigo and madder red colour palettes.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation threads (warp and weft), often dyed with natural vegetable colorants such as madder and indigo.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, natural colour variations known as abrash, the structure of the knotting on the reverse, and the character of the natural dyes.

An antique tribal rug provides grounding warmth and texture when paired with minimalist contemporary furnishings, acting as a focal point that contrasts cleanly against neutral modern floors.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional hand-washing only when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect natural dyes.
