What defines a geometric border rug?

These textiles rely on repeating rectilinear motifs, angular bands, and linear frames to enclose the central field. Unlike curvilinear floral carpets, their designs draw strength from straight lines, triangles, squares, and stylized strapwork.

Where were these rugs made?

Origins stretch across Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Tibet, reflecting distinct regional weaving cultures. Village workshops and nomadic tribes produced the vast majority of these pieces using local materials and traditional designs.

How do I care for an antique rug?

Protect the wool pile by placing a breathable, high-friction underlay beneath the textile on hard flooring. Vacuum gently without using rotating brush bars, and keep the piece away from direct, prolonged sunlight to preserve natural dyes.

How are different weaving regions identified?

Attribution relies on specific structural characteristics, such as knot type, colour palette, and border construction. Motifs like Lesghi stars or Heriz medallions provide clear clues to the geographic source and tribal origin of the weaving.
