How do I identify a Shirvan rug?

Look for crisp geometric motifs, floral lattices, and specific regional medallions characteristic of Eastern Caucasus production. The use of hand-spun wool and traditional colour palettes further assists identification. Compare the knotting structure and secondary motifs with known regional types like Seichur or Kuba. Surviving examples typically date from the nineteenth or early twentieth century.

Where were these rugs made?

These textiles originate from the Shirvan region situated in the Eastern Caucasus. Weavers in local towns and nomadic camps produced them for domestic use and trade. The geographic positioning between major trade routes influenced the design vocabulary, blending Persian tribal elements with distinct Caucasian structures.

Are these rugs suitable for hallways?

Many pieces exist in narrow runner formats specifically proportioned for corridors and hallways. Their durable wool construction withstands moderate foot traffic when placed correctly. Utilising a proper underlay helps protect the historic cotton and wool foundation from premature wear on hard flooring.

How should I care for my rug?

Vacuum gently with the suction attachment, avoiding rotating brush heads that can catch hand-spun wool pile. Professional cleaning suited to antique textiles preserves the natural fibres. Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyes, and periodically rotate the placement to ensure even wear.
