How do I clean a red tabriz carpet?

Professional gentle washing is essential for wool and cotton antique carpets to protect the dyes and foundation. Avoid harsh chemical treatments and heavy mechanical agitation. Regular light vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove surface dust from the pile without straining the old threads.

Where were these carpets made?

These pieces originate from Tabriz and surrounding village regions in north west Persia. Master weavers worked in urban workshops and local communities to produce them. Production spans from eighteenth century examples up to twentieth century roomsize carpets.

Will a large carpet suit a modern room?

A grand roomsize carpet anchors contemporary furniture arrangements with traditional Persian warmth and texture. The classic red grounds and floral patterns complement both period interiors and minimalist spaces. Measure your floor space carefully to ensure borders remain visible around the room perimeter.

What is the difference between a village rug and a workshop carpet?

Workshop carpets often feature precise, symmetrical medallion designs executed with very fine knot counts. Village rugs display slightly more relaxed geometry and regional interpretations of floral motifs. Both types utilise durable wool and cotton construction methods.
