FAQs

Tehran rugs originate from the capital city and surrounding workshops of north-central Persia, known for producing finely knotted urban carpets featuring intricate floral and classical motifs during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

These pieces are traditionally constructed with a hand-spun wool pile woven onto cotton warps andwefts, utilizing asymmetrical Persian knots that allow for high knot densities and detailed pattern work.

Authenticity is identified through examining the natural dye variations, the suppleness of the wool, the regularity of the hand-knotted foundation, and specific design signatures typical of urban Persian workshops.

They can be integrated into contemporary spaces by layering them over neutral broadloom carpets or placing them on polished timber floors to anchor living spaces with rich colour and texture.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading.
