How do I identify a tribal rug?

Tribal pieces generally feature geometric motifs, asymmetrical layouts, and thicker, heavier wool construction. They reflect the independent weaving traditions of nomadic groups rather than urban workshop standards. These designs often incorporate repeating hooked polygons and abrash colour variations resulting from hand-dyed batches of wool.

What is a runner rug used for?

Runners provide a narrow, elongated format suited for hallways, corridors, and narrow staircases. Their dimensions accommodate high-traffic transitional spaces while displaying continuous border and field patterns. Historical examples from nineteenth-century villages and towns bring distinct regional character to domestic passageways.

How should I care for an antique carpet?

Protect the wool pile by vacuuming gently without a rotating brush roll to avoid pulling the fibres. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles preserves the natural lanolin in the wool. Keep the carpet out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyestuffs over the years.

How do I distinguish regional styles?

Different towns and nomadic groups utilised specific colour palettes, knot counts, and drawing styles. For instance, Bidjar pieces are known for extreme structural density, while Heriz carpets favour bold geometric medallions. Examining the border arrangements and foundation materials helps clarify the geographic source of each textile.
