How do I clean an old wool rug?

Surface dust should be gently removed using suction without a revolving brush. Professional textile conservators should handle deeper washing to protect natural dyes. Harsh chemical detergents and excessive moisture can strip the remaining natural oils from the wool and destabilize the foundation threads.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy hallways?

Many sturdy village runners and geometric carpets were built to endure heavy foot traffic on stone and timber floors. Their dense wool pile withstands continuous use. Placing a breathable underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and cushions the foundation against sharp impact.

How can I tell a tribal rug from a city piece?

Tribal examples from groups like the Qashqa'i or Afshar display asymmetrical layouts, bold geometric medallions, and spontaneous use of animal and plant motifs. City pieces from Tabriz or Isfahan exhibit balanced floral compositions and intricate curvilinear precision. Nomadic weavers relied on memory and local surroundings, while urban workshops followed precise paper cartoons drawn by master designers.

What causes colour variation within the pile?

Natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects react organically to mordants and water batches, producing subtle shifts in shade known as abrash. This tonal variation occurs naturally across single fields of colour. Hand-spun wool absorbs these plant extracts unevenly, giving older textiles a shimmering depth that synthetic dyes cannot replicate.
