What is a village rug?

Village rugs are smaller-scale floor coverings produced by independent weavers working in rural settlements rather than large urban workshops. They frequently display asymmetrical tribal motifs, spontaneous design variations, and local wool supplies. Living with these pieces brings an earthy, unpretentious character to interior spaces, as their weavers relied on memory and tradition rather than rigid cartoon patterns.

How should I care for an old carpet?

Protect antique textiles by placing them in low-traffic areas or utilising appropriate underlays to prevent slipping and uneven wear. Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes abrasive grit from the pile. Professional cleaning by specialists familiar with antique vegetable-dyed wool ensures the structural integrity remains undisturbed over years of enjoyment.

How do I distinguish Kashan and Isfahan pieces?

Kashan carpets generally feature curvilinear floral arrangements and central vase or medallion formats utilising rich reds and blues. Isfahan pieces often display even finer knotting with intricate pictorial or refined floral schemes reflecting courtly workshop traditions. Examining the back of the rug reveals the density of the weave, with urban centrepieces typically offering significantly higher knot counts per square inch than provincial equivalents.
