FAQs

Antique Persian tribal rugs were traditionally woven by nomadic and village tribes across Iran, featuring geometric motifs, symbolic iconography, and regional patterns passed down through generations.

These pieces are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced sheeps wool for the pile and foundation, dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments such as madder root and indigo.

Authenticity is identified by irregularities in weave and symmetry, natural abrash colour variations, hand-spun wool characteristics, and traditional structure such as wool or cotton warps andwefts.

An antique rug serves as a textural anchor in contemporary spaces, pairing well with neutral upholstery, minimalist architecture, and natural wood finishes to highlight its historical pattern.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush, professional washing by textile specialists every few years, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
