Where were these tribal carpets made?

These carpets originate from regions across Persia, the Caucasus, and Kurdish territories. Local nomadic confederations and village communities produced them using traditional regional designs. Weavers in areas such as Shiraz, Karabagh, and Baluchistan developed distinct patterns and colour palettes that identify their geographic roots.

How do I clean a wool rug?

Wool rugs require gentle care, starting with regular light vacuuming without a beater bar. Professional cleaning suited for hand-knotted textiles preserves the natural lanolin in the wool. Avoid harsh chemical treatments and excessive water immersion to protect the integrity of the natural dyes and hand-spun foundation yarns.

Are these rugs suitable for hallways?

Long runner formats and durable wool piles make many of these pieces well suited for high-traffic hallways. Their sturdy construction handles regular footfall while adding deep navy colour to narrow spaces. Placing an appropriate underlay beneath the runner prevents slipping and reduces wear on the historical foundation.

How do I date an antique rug?

Dating relies on examining the materials, dye types, structural characteristics, and stylistic evolution of the weaving. Hand-spun wool and specific regional motifs often point toward nineteenth or early twentieth-century production. Comparing the knot density and wear patterns with documented examples from known tribal groups helps narrow the period of origin.
