Where were these carpets made?

These carpets originate from diverse regions across Persia, including city workshops in Kashan, Isfahan, and Kirman, as well as rural village and tribal areas like Heriz, Hamadan, and Baluchistan. Each weaving district developed distinct design vocabularies, colour palettes, and structural techniques that identify the piece's geographical source.

How do I care for an old rug?

Maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without rotary brush heads and occasional professional cleaning suited to antique textiles. Keeping the rug out of direct, harsh sunlight helps protect the natural crimson dyes from fading. Using a quality underlay prevents slipping, reduces friction against the floor, and extends the overall lifespan of the wool pile.

What size options are available?

The available sizes range from small scatter rugs and area rugs to large room-size carpets and extended runners reaching over thirty feet in length. Dimensions vary according to the original function, with runners suited for hallways and larger formats woven for reception rooms and palatial spaces.

How do I identify different styles?

Styles are recognised through specific design elements, such as the geometric medallion of a Heriz or the curvilinear floral motifs of a Kashan. Examining the knot density, edge binding, and wool quality also aids in distinguishing village work from city production. Regional characteristics often reveal themselves in the choice of secondary colours and border arrangements surrounding the crimson field.
