Where should I place these rugs?

These textiles suit low-traffic living areas or bedrooms where mechanical wear stays minimal. Direct sunlight causes natural dyes to fade over extended periods. Underlays provide essential grip and prevent friction between the floorboards and the delicate foundation threads.

How do I identify regional styles?

Examining the characteristic medallion layouts and border motifs reveals the probable weaving origin. Heriz pieces often feature bold geometric geometry, while Kashan examples favour curvilinear florals. Palettes and knotting techniques offer further clues to distinguish village pieces from city workshops.

What is tribal weaving?

Nomadic and village weavers produced these textiles from memory using locally sourced materials and portable upright looms. Designs reflect tribal traditions rather than rigid workshop cartoons. Imperfect symmetry and spontaneous colour shifts often characterise these authentic village creations.
