How do I clean a vintage wool rug?

Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush roll to protect the pile and foundation. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles remains the safest option for addressing deeper dirt. Avoid soaking the piece or applying harsh chemical detergents that might strip the natural dyes from the wool. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing the fibres.

Can I place these carpets in high traffic areas?

Many village and nomadic floor coverings were constructed specifically for heavy daily use. Sturdy wool pile and dense knotting allow them to endure hallway or living room foot traffic. Consider adding a quality underlay to prevent slipping and cushion the foundation against hard flooring. This reduces internal friction between the warp and weft threads over time.

What is the difference between a rug and a carpet?

Size and intended placement generally separate the two terms within textile collecting. Carpets traditionally span larger floor dimensions designed to anchor an entire room. Rugs cover smaller areas, while runners serve narrow spaces such as hallways and staircases. Specialised pieces like saddle covers and bag faces fulfil entirely different nomadic functions.
