How do I place a large room-size carpet?

Position the piece to anchor the main seating furniture in a living room, ensuring the front legs of sofas and chairs rest comfortably upon the wool surface. Allow an even margin of exposed flooring around the perimeter of the carpet to frame the room correctly and highlight the border work.

How are antique Heriz carpets identified?

Heriz pieces typically display bold, geometric medallion designs executed with a sturdy structural weave. They often incorporate terracotta fields contrasted by deep blue corners and borders. The heavier knotting and robust cotton foundations distinguish them from finer city-woven Persian types.

What maintenance do these wool rugs need?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation in the wool pile. Professional cleaning should be undertaken periodically by specialists in antique textiles. Rotating the rug every year ensures even wear patterns from foot traffic and sunlight exposure.

How do Caucasian runners differ from Persian ones?

Caucasian runners generally favour sharper, more rectilinear geometry and saturated primary colours. Their border patterns often feature distinct tribal motifs and starker contrasts. Persian runners tend towards curved floral vines and more nuanced, blended tonal transitions across the field.
