How do I clean an antique rug?

Maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar and professional hand-washing by specialists familiar with natural dyes. Avoiding direct, prolonged sunlight preserves the balance of red and yellow tones over the years.

Where were these textiles made?

The pieces originate from traditional weaving centres across the Caucasus, Anatolia, Persia, and Central Asia. Nomadic tribes and village communities produced them for domestic use or local trade. Each region developed distinct structural habits and palette preferences.

Are these pieces suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Many sturdy wool carpets and runners withstand everyday domestic use in moderate traffic areas. Thicer pile rugs absorb wear better than delicate flatweaves or embroidered silk panels. Placing an appropriate underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and reduces fibre friction.

What defines a tribal rug?

Tribal rugs are woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic groups working from memory rather than rigid scale drawings. Their designs feature symbolic motifs, geometric patterns, and asymmetric details. These works prioritize local materials and traditional dyeing methods passed down through generations.
