Where were these rugs made?

The pieces originate predominantly from traditional weaving centres and villages across Persia, including regions such as Bakhtiar, Tabriz, Heriz, Mahal, and Kashan. Additional examples stem from production hubs in India, China, and the Caucasus. Production dates cluster primarily between the mid-nineteenth century and the nineteen-thirties, reflecting the output of regional workshops and country house weavers.

How do I clean a wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes surface dust trapped in the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains essential for addressing deeper soils to protect the natural dyes and fibres. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemical detergents, which can damage the wool pile and cotton foundations.

Can I place these in high traffic areas?

Wool possesses natural resilience and lanolin content that helps resist dirt and wear. Room-size carpets and runners handle hallway or living room placement well when paired with a quality underlay. Delighter examples featuring silk highlights or delicate flat-woven kilim structures benefit from placement in lower-traffic settings to preserve their condition.

How do I tell regional styles apart?

Regional attribution relies on observing specific characteristics in the medallion geometry, border patterns, and colour palettes. For instance, Heriz carpets often present bolder geometric interpretations, whereas Tabriz and Kashan pieces display finer, curvilinear floral rendering. The materials also offer clues, such as the distinct wool textures and cotton foundation structures typical of specific Persian and Caucasian workshops.
