How do I clean an antique wool carpet?

Gentle surface vacuuming without a beater bar removes loose grit from the hand-spun wool pile without damaging the knot structure. Professional specialist washing remains essential for deep cleaning to protect natural dye stability and prevent foundation shrinkage.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy hallway traffic?

Runner formats and dense village weaves withstand regular foot traffic in hallways when paired with a quality underlay. The resilient nature of hand-spun wool naturally resists crushing and maintains its structural integrity over decades of use.

How do I distinguish regional tribal styles?

Geometric lattice patterns, specific colour palettes, and knotting structures help identify pieces from Caucasian, Anatolian, or Persian weaving traditions. Examining the side cords and end finishes provides further clues to the specific nomadic or village origin.

Can I place these rugs on heated floors?

Natural materials like wool and cotton tolerate moderate underfloor heating when paired with breathable natural underlays. Extreme direct heat can dry out the natural lanolin in the wool fibres over extended periods.
