How do I style a tribal carpet in a modern room?

Terracotta tones and geometric patterns anchor contemporary spaces by introducing warmth and tactile depth to neutral floors. Their varied scale allows them to function as central room carpets, bedside runners, or defined focal points in hallways.

How do I care for antique wool rugs?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation in the hand-spun wool pile. Professional cleaning suited to natural dyes maintains the integrity of the fibres over decades of use.

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

Village rugs typically reflect settled community workshops with structured geometric layouts and regional consistency. Tribal carpets stem from nomadic or semi-nomadic groups, often featuring spontaneous tribal symbols and expressive layouts.

How do I identify natural dyes in old carpets?

Natural dyes present subtle variations in tone across the wool pile, known as abrash, where colours shift naturally. These vegetable and insect-derived dyes age with a mellow patina that chemical dyes rarely replicate.
