How do I clean an antique carpet?

Vacuum gently using suction attachment without the rotating brush bar to protect the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains necessary for deeper maintenance to preserve the fibres and dyes.

Where were these carpets made?

These textiles originate from the town of Bijar and surrounding villages in western Persia. Kurdish tribes produced the majority of these woven works. Production centres on regional traditions rather than large city workshops.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy traffic?

The dense wool pile and sturdy construction make these traditional floor coverings exceptionally durable. They handle regular movement across hallways and living rooms. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the rug helps prevent sliding and reduces friction.

What size options are available?

Inventory ranges from small area rugs to expansive room-size carpets and narrow runner formats. Dimensions scale from compact village pieces to substantial country house carpets. Measurements vary according to the specific room or corridor for which each piece was woven.
