Where were these carpets made?

The pieces originate primarily from Persian and Caucasian weaving centres, including regions such as Mahal, Kashan, Bakhtiar, and Heriz. Local workshops developed distinct regional designs, incorporating specific floral compositions and colour palettes that identify their geographic provenance.

How do I care for an old wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes surface dust and prevents fibres from matting. Professional cleaning by specialists in antique textiles maintains the integrity of the wool and cotton materials. Keeping the piece out of direct sunlight prevents the natural dyes from fading unevenly across the navy ground.

What materials are used in these rugs?

The pile is predominantly spun from wool, which provides durability and soft texture underfoot. Cotton foundations offer structural stability, while occasional silk threads highlight specific botanical details. Natural dye sources historically contributed to the rich variations found in the navy backgrounds and floral motifs.

How do I distinguish regional styles?

Regional styles appear through specific medallion layouts, border arrangements, and floral drawing styles. For instance, Heriz carpets display geometric interpretations of floral themes, whereas Kashan pieces show finer curved vines and central medallions. Examining the weave density and foundation materials also helps determine the specific origin of each rug.
