How do I clean an antique carpet?

Maintenance requires gentle specialist cleaning rather than standard domestic methods. Professional textile conservators should handle washing to protect the wool pile and dye integrity. Regular light vacuuming without a rotating power brush helps remove surface dust safely between professional washes.

Can I place these under heavy furniture?

Heavy furniture can compress the wool pile over extended periods if left in a fixed position. Distributing weight evenly or using protective cups helps mitigate deep indentations in the pile. Rotating the rug periodically also ensures even wear across high-traffic areas and sun exposure zones.

What is the difference between village and workshop rugs?

Village and tribal pieces typically feature bolder geometric motifs reflecting local nomadic traditions. Urban workshop productions usually display refined curvilinear designs with much higher knot densities. Both styles utilise hand-knotted wool, but the execution and design planning differ significantly between regional groups.

How do I identify regional styles?

Regional identification relies on recognising specific colour palettes, border motifs, and medallion structures characteristic of areas like Heriz, Tabriz, or Sarouk. Examining the weave density and foundation materials also offers strong clues to origin. Comparing structural details against documented regional examples helps clarify the specific provenance.
