How were these tribal pieces used?

Nomads and villagers utilised them for floor coverings, bedding, tent decorations, and practical storage for salt, grain, and personal belongings. Many smaller formats functioned as saddlebags, eating cloths, or vanity bags tailored for daily transit and domestic life.

How do I care for an antique rug?

Protect the hand-spun wool and natural dyes by keeping the textile out of direct sunlight and using a breathable, non-slip underlay. Vacuum gently without a rotating brush roll and consult a specialist in antique textiles for professional cleaning.

How can I tell different tribal groups apart?

Distinctive design elements, colour palettes, and structural techniques separate groups like the Baluch, Afshar, Yomut, and Kazak. Specific medallions, border arrangements, and wool characteristics provide clear markers for regional attribution.
