Where do most of these textiles originate?

How do I care for an old wool textile?

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to protect the natural dyes from fading over prolonged periods. Gentle vacuuming with a mesh screen or professional textile cleaning helps preserve the wool fibres without causing damage.

Can these textiles be hung on walls?

Many of these pieces function well as wall hangings, provided you use a padded sleeve or proper mounting support to distribute the weight evenly. Hanging protects the textile from floor wear while displaying the detailed patterns fully.
