Where were these rugs made?

The pieces originate primarily from traditional weaving centres in Persia and Turkey, including Isfahan, Qum, Kayseri, and Bursa. Specific workshops and tribal groups across these regions developed distinct patterns, from elaborate floral fields to geometric prayer niches.

How do I care for a silk rug?

Protect the textile from excessive foot traffic and direct sunlight to preserve the delicate silk fibres and rich red dyes. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles is recommended to maintain the structural integrity of the weave.

What is a foundation?

The foundation consists of the warp and weft threads that form the supportive grid upon which the pile knots are tied. Materials used in these pieces include cotton, wool, and pure silk depending on the regional tradition.
