How do I choose the right size?

Measure your floor space carefully to ensure the carpet leaves a proper border of exposed flooring around the perimeter of the room. Consider furniture placement so that either all legs sit upon the textile or only the front feet rest on the surface.

Where should I place these rugs?

These textiles suit principal reception rooms, dining areas, and studies where foot traffic is moderate. Keep them away from direct, continuous sunlight to protect the wool pile and natural dyes from fading over time.

How do I care for antique wool carpets?

Vacuum gently using suction only, avoiding the rotating brush bars that can pull at the vintage wool fibres. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear patterns across high-traffic areas of the floor.

How do I identify different regional styles?

Study the specific geometric medallions, curvilinear floral motifs, and characteristic border designs associated with traditional weaving centres. Palettes often provide strong clues to origin, with certain towns favouring distinct saturation and colour combinations.
