How do I choose the right size?

Measure your floor space to ensure the rug anchors your furniture arrangement properly, allowing enough bare flooring around the perimeter of the room. Larger room-size carpets suit central seating areas, while smaller formats work well in studies or entryways.

Can these rugs handle daily foot traffic?

Traditional construction using dense wool and sturdy cotton foundations makes these pieces durable enough for everyday use in living spaces. Proper placement over a quality underlay helps absorb impact and reduces friction against hard floors.

How do I identify a tribal design?

Tribal carpets often feature geometric motifs, repeating medallions, and abstracted animal or plant forms rather than elaborate court-style floral scrolls. These patterns reflect the nomadic heritage and regional weaving traditions of makers from specific communities.

What is the best way to clean them?

Gentle surface brushing and periodic professional cleaning suited for antique textiles help preserve the natural wool fibres and dyes. Avoid harsh chemical treatments or excessive water immersion to protect the structural integrity of the foundation.
