Sturdily constructed wool and cotton carpets withstand normal domestic foot traffic quite well when laid over a quality underlay. Delicate silk highlights or extremely fine antique prayer rugs benefit from placement in lower-traffic settings to preserve their condition.

How do I identify a tribal rug from a town rug?

Tribal rugs typically feature bolder geometric patterns, asymmetrical designs, and thicker, more rustic wool from nomadic or village weavers. Town rugs display finer, more symmetrical floral motifs, complex curved lines, and structured compositions originating from established workshops.
