Where were these rugs made?

These pieces were produced in the Caucasus region, encompassing areas that bridge Europe and Asia. Tribal weavers working in specific valleys and towns created distinct local variations. Names such as Fachralo, Karachov, and Gendje often denote the specific sub-region or village tradition where the weaving took place.

How do I care for a vintage rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll helps remove grit from the wool pile. Professional cleaning suited for antique textiles preserves the natural dyes and fibres. Keeping the rug out of direct, harsh sunlight prevents the vegetable colours from fading unevenly over the years.

Are these rugs suitable for high-traffic areas?

The dense hand-spun wool construction makes these floor coverings remarkably resilient against regular foot traffic. Many examples have survived for well over a century while retaining their structural integrity. Using a quality rug underlay provides additional cushioning and prevents slipping on hard floors.

How do I identify different regional types?

Regional styles are distinguished by specific colour combinations and primary geometric motifs. Karachov types typically feature large central square medallions, while Gendje pieces often display repeated diagonal rows. Border designs and the presence of animal or plant symbols also offer clear clues to a rug's specific origin.
