How do I care for an antique rug?

Vacuum gently with the beater bar switched off to protect the delicate wool pile and ancient foundation threads from excessive mechanical friction. Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading over the decades, and rotate the placement periodically to ensure even wear.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Substantial room-sized carpets woven with thick wool piles handle normal household walking quite well when supported by a quality underlay. Fine silk or fragile nineteenth-century examples require much lighter placement, such as low-traffic bedrooms or display spaces, to preserve their structural integrity.

What causes the blue colour variation?

Dichroic variations occur naturally due to shifts in indigo dye batches and the varying absorption rates of hand-spun wool fibres over time. These subtle tonal changes, often called abrash, demonstrate traditional hand-dyeing methods rather than mechanical uniformity.

How can I identify a specific regional type?

Look closely at the distinctive border arrangements, colour palettes, and specific structural motifs such as star medallions or prayer arches. Different weaving towns like Ushak, Bergama, or Konya developed signature design vocabularies that help experienced eyes separate them.
