How do I clean an antique rug?

Maintenance requires gentle surface dusting and professional textile cleaning tailored to natural fibres and natural dyes. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive moisture to preserve the wool and silk. Regular rotation prevents uneven wear from foot traffic and sunlight exposure. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the textile protects the foundation from friction.

Where were these tribal rugs made?

Production centres span Central Asia, Persia, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. Nomadic tribes and village weavers created these textiles using local materials and traditional motifs. Specific regions such as Uzbekistan, Shirvan, and Konya developed distinct colour palettes and weaving structures. These geographical traits help identify the origin of each piece.

Can I use these rugs on the floor?

Many sturdy wool carpets and flat weaves suit moderate floor placement when paired with a protective underlay. Thinner embroideries and delicate silk pieces function better as wall hangings or decorative textiles. Assessing the pile density and foundation strength determines whether a textile handles daily walking. Runner rugs and area rugs often serve well in hallways and low-traffic rooms.

What is a prayer format?

A prayer format incorporates an arch or mihrab design at one end of the textile. This architectural motif points toward Mecca during daily devotions. Weavers across Anatolia and Persia utilised this layout for personal worship rugs. The design remains a key identifier for specific regional prayer pieces.
