Where were these carpets made?

These textiles originate from the Fars province in South-West Persia, produced by confederated nomadic tribes. Weavers worked within regional camps, drawing inspiration from local fauna, tribal history, and neighbouring nomadic groups.

How do I identify tribal motifs?

Look for repeating geometric patterns, stylized trees, and characteristic pictorial elements such as small birds and chickens. These symbols reflect the daily environment and cultural heritage of the weavers who knotted them by hand.

What size do these rugs come in?

Sizes range from compact area rugs suitable for smaller spaces to large main carpets exceeding three metres in length. Format dimensions vary depending on whether the textile was designed for nomadic transport or fixed domestic placement.

How do I care for antique wool?

Protect the hand-spun pile by using a breathable underlay and limiting exposure to direct, harsh sunlight. Gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll helps preserve the integrity of the cotton foundation and wool fibres.

What periods do these pieces span?

The available selection primarily dates from the late nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. Examples from this era showcase traditional natural dyeing techniques and hand-spun materials prior to extensive industrialisation.
