How do I clean an antique rug?

Professional specialist cleaning is essential for nineteenth-century wool textiles to protect fragile natural dye foundations. Regular gentle surface vacuuming without a beater bar removes trapped dust effectively between washes.

Are these rugs suitable for heavy traffic?

Hand-knotted wool construction provides exceptional durability, making these textiles well-suited for hallways and living spaces. Using a quality underlay prevents slipping and cushions the foundation against premature wear.

How do I identify regional types?

Specific medallion configurations, colour palettes, and border patterns distinguish subgroups like Karachov or Fachralo. Comparing central motifs against documented regional examples clarifies the likely place of origin.

Why do some rugs appear slightly uneven?

Handmade tribal weaving naturally incorporates minor irregularities in width and straightness along the edges. These slight deviations reflect independent village production rather than factory standardisation.
