How do I care for a silk rug?

Protect the pile from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to preserve the delicate fibres and dyes. Vacuum gently without a rotating beater brush to prevent snagging the fine silk knots.

Where were these rugs made?

Production centres span across Persia, Turkey, China, and Kashmir, with notable pieces originating from cities like Isfahan, Qum, and Kashan. Each region developed distinct knotting densities and visual vocabularies that identify their geographic roots.

What is an art silk rug?

Art silk refers to artificial silk materials utilised in place of natural fibres during the weaving process. These yarns provide a similar visual sheen and smooth texture to traditional pieces.

How do I distinguish regional styles?

Examine the border motifs, medallion shapes, and overall colour palettes against known regional characteristics from Persian or Anatolian traditions. Details like tile patterns or prayer arches often point directly to specific weaving towns.
