How do I choose the right size for a room?

Measure the intended floor space while allowing a consistent margin of bare flooring around the perimeter of the furniture arrangement. Large room-sized formats anchor central seating groups effectively. Consider the door clearance and placement of heavy furniture legs when selecting dimensions to ensure the carpet sits comfortably within the living space.

How do I clean an old carpet?

Gentle regular vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation within the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains essential for deep restoration. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemical treatments which damage natural fibres and fugitive traditional dyes.

How do I tell Heriz and Tabriz carpets apart?

Heriz carpets typically display bold, geometric medallion designs with strong architectural lines woven in northwest Persia. Their construction is robust and sturdy. Tabriz carpets tend to feature more curvilinear floral motifs and intricate medallion patterns reflecting established urban workshop traditions.

What is an Oushak carpet?

An Oushak carpet originates from Turkey and is known for a softer palette and looser knotting technique. These pieces often feature large-scale floral designs or central medallions against pale ivory or pink grounds. Their relaxed aesthetic integrates well into both traditional and contemporary interiors.
