FAQs

Timuri rugs are traditionally woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples inhabiting the borderlands of Persia and Afghanistan, typically distinguished by dark wool foundations, geometric motifs, and rich earthy palettes.

Authentic pieces are generally crafted using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile, warp, and weft, dyed with natural vegetable and insect-based colourants.

Authentication involves examining the irregularities in the weave, the natural variations in hand-spun wool, the use of traditional natural dyes, and the specific structural characteristics of the fringe and selvedges.

These textiles add warmth and textural contrast when placed on hardwood floors or hung as wall art, grounding modern minimalism or complementing eclectic schemes.

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