How do I clean an antique carpet?

Professional specialist cleaning is essential for antique wool and silk carpets to protect fragile natural dyes and historical foundations. Regular gentle surface vacuuming without a beater bar prevents dust accumulation between washes.

Can I place these rugs in high traffic areas?

Robust wool tribal rugs and heavier village runners handle moderate hallway or living room traffic very well. Finer silk pieces or fragile nineteenth-century examples require placement in quieter drawing rooms or bedrooms to preserve their condition.

How do I identify a tribal rug from a city rug?

Tribal rugs typically display geometric motifs, informal layouts, and thicker, coarser wool woven by nomadic or village groups. City carpets show refined curvilinear floral patterns, precise symmetry, and higher knot densities.

What underlay should I use?

A breathable, high-friction mesh underlay prevents slipping and cushions the foundation fibres against hard flooring. Avoid rubber-backed products that trap moisture and damage delicate antique cotton or wool warps over time.
