Where were these carpets made?

These carpets originate from nomadic and village workshops across Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Persia. Specific regions include Turkmenistan, Anatolia, and various Persian tribal areas. Weavers in these locations utilised local materials and passed down traditional geometric and floral motifs through generations.

How do I care for a wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove dust and grit from the wool pile. Professional cleaning is recommended when deeper maintenance is required. Keeping the carpet out of direct, harsh sunlight preserves the natural dyes over time.

What is the difference between a runner and a carpet?

Runners are long and narrow formats specifically proportioned for hallways, corridors, and narrow spaces. Carpets and large rugs are wider formats intended for central floor placement in rooms. Both types share the same hand-knotted or flat-woven construction techniques.

How can I tell different tribal designs apart?

Tribal designs are distinguished by specific repeating motifs, such as the octagonal gul of Turkmen carpets or the sharp geometric lattices of Caucasian pieces. Colour palettes and border arrangements also point to particular weaving regions. Familiarity with regional structures helps identify the origin of each piece.
