How do I clean an old wool rug?

Gentle surface brushing and professional dusting remove embedded grit without disturbing the wool fibres. Avoid harsh chemical immersion. Keep woven carpets away from direct, harsh sunlight to protect the natural dyes from fading unevenly across the room.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy traffic?

Thickly knotted wool naturally resists daily wear and provides durable cushioning underfoot. Placing a quality underlay beneath the textile prevents sliding and cushions the foundation. Regular rotation ensures uniform wear patterns across rooms exposed to strong sunlight or frequent footsteps.

How can I tell a village rug from a city piece?

City workshops like Tabriz or Isfahan produced refined, curvilinear floral designs with high knot counts and meticulous symmetry. Village weaves such as Heriz or Bakhtiar display bolder, more geometric interpretations with heavier wool. Regional differences in the weave structure and palette often point directly to the specific town or tribe that produced the piece.
