How do I clean an antique carpet?

Gentle surface vacuuming without the beater bar active removes loose dust and debris from the pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains essential for deep washing to protect fragile hand-spun wool. Avoid harsh chemical treatments or soaking at home, as older dyes can bleed or degrade when exposed to incorrect moisture levels. Consult a textile conservator for specific maintenance advice.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Many of these room-size carpets were constructed for daily residential use from durable wool materials. Placing a quality underlay beneath the rug absorbs impact and reduces friction against hard flooring. Thinner flat-woven kilims benefit from placement in lower-traffic areas to preserve their delicate structure over time.

How do I identify a Heriz carpet?

Heriz carpets typically feature bold, geometric central medallions set against terracotta or deep red fields. Their robust construction often incorporates heavier cotton foundations to withstand rigorous daily wear. Corner spandrels with distinct angular leaf and vine motifs further separate these Northwest Persian village weaves from curvilinear city workshop productions.

What is an Ushak carpet?

Ushak carpets originate from western Turkey and are known for their luminous wool and large-scale, relaxed floral motifs. Their colour palettes frequently lean towards soft terracotta, saffron, and muted blues. These versatile room-size carpets blend easily into contemporary and traditional interiors due to their expansive, open fields.
