How do I clean an antique rug?

Maintenance requires gentle surface dusting and professional care tailored to natural dyes and wool or silk fibres. Avoid harsh chemical treatments to preserve the integrity of the dyes. Submerging old textiles in water or scrubbing vigorously can damage the structural weave and cause colour bleeding.

Where were these rugs made?

These pieces originate from nomadic confederacies and village workshops across Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Central Asia. Regions such as Shirvan, Fars, and Uzbekistan produced distinct regional styles. Local tribal traditions dictated the specific patterns, materials, and weaving techniques employed by each group.

Are these items suitable for floors?

Floor placement depends on the specific format, as pile carpets and robust kilims handle foot traffic well. Lighter embroidered panels, wall hangings, and small bags are better suited for display away from heavy wear. Using a suitable underlay helps protect delicate antique foundations from friction against hard surfaces.

How do I identify regional designs?

Regional identification relies on observing the specific arrangement of geometric motifs, border guards, and structural colour combinations. Caucasian pieces often display sharp polygons, while Persian tribal weavings favour complex medallions and figurative elements. Comparing structural details and material choices helps distinguish between Anatolian, Caucasian, and Central Asian origins.
