How old are these carpets?

The pieces seen here generally date from the nineteenth century up through the early decades of the twentieth century. Production periods often reflect traditional tribal styles preserved across generations. Specific dates are estimated by examining material wear, dye types, and structural characteristics typical of historical weaving centres.

Where were they made?

Originating across a wide geographic expanse, these textiles come from regions in Afghanistan, eastern Persia, and Khorasan. Nomadic and village weavers produced them within specific tribal territories. Local access to materials and distinct regional motifs heavily influenced the final appearance of each rug.

How do I care for wool rugs?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove embedded dust from the wool pile. Professional cleaning suited for antique textiles preserves the natural fibres and dyes. Keeping the carpet away from direct, harsh sunlight prevents premature fading of the traditional natural colours.
