How do I identify a tribal rug?

Tribal rugs display asymmetric or geometric motifs drawn from memory rather than rigid cartographic plans. Look for bold medallions, stylised animal figures, and repeating tribal borders. The materials typically consist of hand-spun wool dyed with rich indigo and earthy tones on simple vertical looms.

Where were these rugs made?

Production centres span the nomadic territories and mountain villages of Persia and the Caucasus. Regions like Kerman, Fars, Karabagh, and Shirvan produced distinct regional styles. Nomadic confederacies carried portable looms across seasonal migration routes, incorporating local flora and iconography into their wool work.

Are these rugs suitable for hallways?

Many examples on this page are produced in runner formats specifically suited for hallways and corridors. Long, narrow proportions accommodate high-traffic walking areas. Dense wool construction provides natural resilience against daily footfall while protecting delicate underlying floors.

How should I care for an antique rug?

Protect the piece by placing it on a breathable rug underlay to prevent sliding and uneven friction. Vacuum gently using suction attachments without rotating bristle brushes. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of natural wool fibres and historic indigo dyes.
