Where were these rugs made?

The pieces originate from village workshops and nomadic camps across regions including Persia, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Afghanistan. Local tribes developed distinct aesthetic traditions that identify each piece. Specific weaving centres such as Karaja, Heriz, Milas, and Oushak each contributed unique structural and decorative characteristics to their regional output.

How do I care for a wool rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar helps remove embedded dust from the wool pile. Professional cleaning by specialists in antique textiles ensures the natural dyes remain stable. Keeping the rug away from direct, harsh sunlight prevents the natural colours from fading prematurely over the years.

What is a mihrab design?

The selections date primarily from the middle of the nineteenth century through to the early decades of the twentieth century. Specific dating relies on structural analysis, dye types, and stylistic evolution.
