How do I place a large carpet?

Position the piece centrally in a reception room or study, allowing the furniture to rest either fully upon it or just off the outer borders to display the field. Ensure the heavy wool pile is protected from direct, prolonged sunlight to preserve the depth of the natural dyes over time.

A Serapi is a sub-type associated with the Heriz region, typically dated to the nineteenth century and noted for a more open field design. These older village pieces often carry a distinctive palette and a slightly coarser, highly artful geometric rhythm.

How do I clean an antique wool rug?

Surface dust should be removed regularly through gentle suction vacuuming without using a rotating beater brush along the pile direction. Professional specialist washing is required for deeper cleaning to protect the cotton foundations and the hand-spun wool fibres.

How do I identify a Karadja?

Karadja rugs originate from a nearby weaving centre in North-West Persia and often feature smaller formats or repeating medallion formats. They share technical similarities with Heriz carpets but frequently display more compact village motifs suited to smaller floor spaces.
