What is an Oushak carpet?

Oushak carpets come from the historic manufacturing centre in western Turkey and are celebrated for softer pastel palettes and larger-scale floral patterns. They utilise a looser knotting technique that gives the wool a relaxed, supple handle. Buyers often select Oushak pieces for their ability to complement contemporary interiors while retaining antique Turkish character.

How should I clean my antique rug?

Vacuuming on a gentle setting without a rotating power brush helps remove surface dirt without stressing the antique wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains essential for deep maintenance. Water and harsh chemical detergents must be avoided to prevent dye migration and fibre degradation across older cotton foundations.

Where were Caucasian rugs made?

Caucasian rugs originate from the mountainous region bridging Europe and Asia, encompassing modern-day countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Village weavers in these areas produced highly geometric designs. These rugs are characterised by striking tribal symbols, rich primary colours, and compact formats suited to smaller rooms.
