How do I care for an antique cushion cover?

Vacuum gently on a low setting without a beater bar to remove surface dust. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended if washing becomes necessary. Keep the cushion out of direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading over time.

What periods do these covers come from?

The pieces span the mid-nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. Most examples date from the 1850s to the 1920s. Dates correspond to the age of the original tribal textile rather than the date of its conversion into a cushion.

Are these made from real antique rugs?

Yes, the covers are constructed from authentic nineteenth-century tribal weaving fragments, saddle bags, and storage sacks. Artisans repurpose these historic pieces to give worn textiles a new functional life. Original flatweave backs and pile sections are retained wherever possible during the making process.

How do I identify different tribal designs?

Designs depend on the nomadic group that made the original textile, such as Turkmen guls or Shahsevan bird motifs. Each region utilised specific geometric symbols and colour combinations. Studying the structure and palette helps attribute the piece to groups like the Qashqai, Baluch, or Afshar.
