How do I identify a Heriz carpet?

Heriz carpets generally present robust, geometric floral patterns anchored by a prominent central medallion. Their robust wool construction and bold corner spandrels distinguish them from finer city weaves. Runners and carpets from this origin use strong blue and terracotta tones suited to heavy traffic areas in traditional interiors.

What is a Kelleh format?

A Kelleh is a specific rectangular proportion, substantially longer than it is wide, designed for gallery spaces or long rooms. These formats offer distinct spatial layout options compared to square or standard area sizes. Historically placed along the perimeter of larger reception rooms, they provide continuous floor coverage without overwhelming central furniture arrangements.

How should I care for an antique wool rug?

Maintain antique wool floor coverings through regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar to protect the pile. Professional cleaning suited to vegetable-dyed textiles preserves the integrity of the fibres. Keep these rugs out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent uneven fading of the blue dyes and cotton foundations.

What distinguishes Kashan rugs?

Kashan rugs are characterised by finely knotted curvilinear floral designs and intricate central medallions. Their refined execution reflects urban workshop traditions established over centuries. These pieces utilise a tight cotton foundation supporting a dense wool pile that captures intricate botanical details with high clarity.
