How do I clean a wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes surface dust and loose debris from the wool pile. Professional cleaning remains necessary for deep washing to protect the natural fibres and dyes. Harsh chemical detergents and excessive water damage vintage wool foundations. Specialist textile cleaners understand the specific needs of hand-knotted village rugs.

Where were these rugs made?

Weavers produced these textiles across Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Central Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each region developed distinct palettes and geometric vocabularies tied to local tribal traditions. Village workshops and nomadic camps relied on locally sourced wool and traditional upright looms. These geographical origins dictate the specific styles and structural traits found in the weaving.

Can I place furniture on an antique rug?

Placing furniture on these floor coverings distributes weight across the pile without causing immediate harm. Light chairs and tables sit comfortably on dense wool carpets. Heavy cabinets and sideboards require protective cups under legs to prevent crushing the foundation. Rotating the rug periodically ensures even wear in high-traffic rooms.

What underlay should I use?

A quality mesh underlay stops the rug from sliding on hard wood or stone flooring. This extra layer absorbs foot impact and reduces friction between the wool base and the floorboards. Breathable natural rubber or felt pads prevent moisture accumulation underneath the textile. The correct underlay prolongs the structural life of older hand-woven carpets.
