Where were these rugs made?

The pieces originate primarily from nomadic and village communities across Persia, the Caucasus, and Anatolia. Specific regions include Shirvan, Kerman, and Turkmenistan. Weavers produced them in local tribal settlements, utilising regional motifs and locally sourced materials that reflect their specific cultural heritage.

How do I care for my rug?

Protect the wool pile by vacuuming gently without a rotating brush head. Rotate the piece periodically to ensure even exposure to foot traffic and light. Professional cleaning suited for antique textiles preserves the natural dyes and hand-spun wool fibres. Avoid harsh chemical treatments entirely.

What materials were used?

Makers relied principally on wool and hand-spun wool for both the soft pile and the underlying structure. Cotton also appears in the foundations of specific regional pieces. Natural dyes provided the primary palette, creating the deep red backgrounds and contrasting geometric details characteristic of these tribal textiles.

How do I identify different regional styles?

Regional attribution relies on specific combinations of geometric motifs, border designs, and structural formats. Caucasian pieces often display crisp cruciform medallions, while Persian tribal rugs feature intricate lattice work. Examining the knotting style and wool characteristics helps distinguish between Anatolian, Caucasian, and Turkmen traditions.
