How do I clean an antique wool carpet?

Maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar to protect the wool fibres and knot structure. Professional textile cleaning is recommended for deep cleaning to prevent dye migration. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or excessive water, which can damage natural dyes and weaken the foundation threads over time.

Can I place these rugs in high traffic areas?

Traditional wool carpets possess natural lanolin that provides inherent resistance to dirt and everyday wear. Placing a quality underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and reduces fibre friction. Heavy traffic areas suit tightly knotted pile rugs and robust kilims, while delicate flat weaves or silk-containing pieces benefit from lighter placement.

How do I identify the regional origin of a rug?

Attribution relies on examining specific design motifs, colour palettes, and structural characteristics such as selvedge finishes and knot types. Caucasian pieces often display crisp geometry, while Persian and Anatolian examples feature distinct floral or tribal symbols. Comparing structural materials like cotton versus wool foundations provides additional clues regarding the geographic workshop or nomadic group.

What is the difference between a kilim and a piled rug?

A kilim is constructed as a flat weave with no pile, produced by tightly interweaving horizontal and vertical threads. This results in a thinner, reversible textile with a smooth surface texture. Piled rugs involve individual knots tied to the warp threads and sheared to create a plush, three-dimensional surface that offers greater underfoot cushioning.
