How do I place a medallion carpet in a room?

Position the carpet so that the central medallion anchors the furniture arrangement, such as beneath a coffee table or centred within a seating group. Allow enough surrounding floor space to frame the borders properly without crowding the edges of the room.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Wool and cotton construction provides natural durability for daily use in domestic living spaces or hallways. Heavier room-sized carpets handle regular movement well, provided they rest on a quality underlay to prevent slipping and friction.

How do I distinguish Persian from Caucasian styles?

Persian carpets frequently exhibit intricate curved floral patterns, fine botanical motifs, and balanced town workshop structures. Caucasian examples tend to display bolder geometric medallions, sharper angles, and tribal motifs derived from regional village traditions.

What does camel wool indicate in a carpet?

Undyed camel wool provides a naturally soft, warm background tone within the field of the carpet. This material often signals specific regional village production, such as traditional pieces originating from nineteenth and early twentieth century Konya workshops.
