How do I choose the right size?

Measure your floor space carefully, allowing clear margins of exposed flooring around the edges of the traditional oriental floor carpet to frame the piece properly within the room. Consider the traffic level of the area, as larger room-sized carpets anchor living spaces while long runners suit hallways and transitional corridors.

How should I clean my carpet?

Gentle, regular vacuuming without a rotating brush roll helps remove embedded dust and grit from the wool pile without damaging the antique foundation threads. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for deeper maintenance to protect natural dyes and prevent fibre distortion.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy traffic?

Many traditional oriental floor carpet items were woven for demanding domestic use by village and tribal communities using robust wool and sturdy construction. Placing an appropriate underlay beneath the carpet provides extra cushioning and reduces friction against hard flooring surfaces.

How do I identify tribal designs?

Tribal pieces often display geometric guls, repeating tribal motifs and asymmetric layouts stemming from nomadic or village traditions rather than formal city workshops. Palette choices in tribal weaves frequently rely on saturated red, blue and earthy tones derived from traditional natural dye sources.
