How do I clean an antique rug?

Professional dusting and gentle washing by a specialist familiar with natural dyes and wool pile remain essential. Harsh chemical treatments and excessive water damage historic fibres. Regular light vacuuming without a rotating beater bar helps maintain the surface between professional cleans.

Can I place these rugs in high traffic areas?

Many sturdy village and tribal weaves withstand moderate household transit due to dense wool construction. Placing a quality underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and reduces fibre wear. Delicate room-size carpets benefit from placement in lower-traffic settings to preserve their structural integrity.

How do I identify a village rug from a city rug?

Village and nomadic pieces typically feature geometric motifs, asymmetrical designs, and thicker wool yarns woven on smaller looms. City carpets display refined floral symmetry, curving medallions, and higher knot densities. Regional characteristics often point toward specific origins like Hamadan or Kirman.

What causes the pink and rose tones?

Weavers achieved these botanical shades through traditional natural dye ingredients such as madder root combined with specific mordants. Over time, exposure to light softens these colours into gentle rose and salmon variations. Original dye variations give each textile its distinct visual depth.
