Where were these rugs made?

These textiles were produced by Kurdish weavers residing across West Persia, Eastern Anatolia, and the South Caucasus. Production took place both in settled villages and through nomadic tribal encampments across those regions.

How do I care for a tribal rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating power brush helps remove grit and dust from the wool pile. Professional cleaning tailored for antique wool textiles ensures the longevity of the natural dyes and fibres.

Can I use a runner in a hallway?

Long runner formats function well in hallways, corridors, and narrow passageways subjected to regular foot traffic. A quality underlay provides added grip and cushions the foundation against hard flooring surfaces.

What is the difference between pile and flatweave?

Pile rugs feature knotted wool yarn standing upright from a foundation to create a soft, dense surface texture. Flatweaves like kilims and soumaks contain no raised pile, offering a thinner, lighter structure with pattern visible on both sides.
