How do I clean an antique rug?

Gentle surface vacuuming without a beater bar removes loose dirt from the wool pile safely. Professional specialist cleaning is necessary for deeper maintenance to protect the natural dyes and fibres.

Where were these rugs made?

These textiles originate from South West Persia, produced by nomadic and tribal groups such as the Qashqai and Khamseh. They reflect the traditional craft methods of specific regional confederacies operating across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Are these pieces hand woven?

Every piece in this category is hand woven using traditional techniques passed down through generations of weavers. This manual construction method ensures each carpet or bagface possesses individual character and structural resilience.

What materials are used?

The construction relies primarily on wool, which forms the durable pile and structural foundation of the textiles. Cotton is also utilised within the physical structure of certain pieces depending on the specific tribal origin.
