How were these cushions made?

These pieces are constructed by repurposing historical hand-woven flatweaves, primarily utilising wool and cotton yarns. Artisans take fragments of older kilims or tribal bag faces to form the decorative front of each cushion. The underlying structure relies on traditional nomadic weaving techniques where geometric designs are woven directly into the textile. Durable backings are then added to support the antique decorative face.

Where do these textiles originate?

The source textiles originate primarily from nomadic and tribal regions in Anatolia and Persia. Specific groups, including Kurdish and Baluch weavers, produced the original flatweaves. These pieces reflect the cultural motifs and traditional dye methods of their specific geographical origins. The materials represent regional craft traditions from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

How do I care for an antique cushion?

Care for these items requires gentle treatment appropriate for historical wool and cotton textiles. Professional cleaning is generally recommended to preserve the natural fibres and dyes. Avoiding direct, prolonged sunlight helps protect the wool from fading over time. Regular gentle rotation and light airing maintain the condition of the woven surface.

How do I identify the period?

Identifying the period involves examining the wool quality, dye characteristics, and specific tribal weaving structures. Pieces range from the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. Traditional motifs and regional weaving styles provide key indicators for dating the source textile. The absence of synthetic materials generally points towards earlier production dates.
