How do I identify a genuine piece?

Examine the reverse of the weaving to check for irregular knotting and hand-spun wool characteristics. Natural dyes and slight asymmetries in the tribal motifs typically indicate authentic nomadic production. Compare the piece against known regional styles from southwestern Persia. Consistent use of traditional iconography like medallions and animal figures provides further confirmation of origin.

Where were these carpets made?

These textiles originate from the tribal regions of southwestern Persia, specifically associated with the Qashqai confederation and neighbouring groups. Nomadic and village weavers produced them in camp settings and rural settlements. Production often extended across historical trade routes and seasonal migration paths in Fars province. Surviving examples reflect the distinct cultural visual language of these specific tribes.

How should I care for an antique rug?

Position the carpet in areas away from direct, harsh sunlight to preserve the integrity of the natural dyes. Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar prevents dust accumulation in the wool pile. Rotate the piece periodically to ensure even wear across the surface from foot traffic. Professional cleaning by specialists in antique textiles is recommended when deep maintenance is required.
