How do I clean a fragile antique kilim?

Surface dust removes easily through gentle, low-suction vacuuming without a rotating brush head. Professional textile conservators handle deeper cleaning to protect natural dyes and historical wool fibres from damage.

Can these flat-weave rugs go on floors?

Floor placement works well in low-traffic areas when paired with a quality rug underlay to prevent slipping and friction. Many collectors also mount panels and bag faces directly onto walls to protect the flat-weave structure from foot traffic.

What makes a piece Caucasian rather than Persian?

Caucasian pieces tend to feature sharper, more austere geometric medallions and stricter tribal layouts compared to curved Persian floral designs. Specific regional markers like Shirvan bands or Shahsevan panels help identify the exact mountainous origin.

Why are some pieces listed as bag faces?

Nomadic tribes wove sturdy containers like saddle bags and storage chests for practical daily transport. When the surrounding leather or structural sides degraded over time, the decorative front panels survived as independent textile art.
