How do I care for a tribal wool cushion?

Vacuum gently using a low suction setting without a rotating brush to remove dust from the wool fibres. Spot clean minor stains with mild wool detergent and cool water, avoiding harsh chemicals or soaking.

Are these cushions made from authentic antique textiles?

Yes, the pieces utilise authentic nineteenth and early twentieth century nomadic bag faces, kilims and storage sacks. Skilled makers convert these historical fragments into cushions while preserving the original hand-spun wool and natural dye characteristics.

Can I use these cushions for daily seating?

The sturdy wool and goat hair construction makes them durable enough for regular use on sofas or armchairs. Rotating the cushions periodically ensures even wear across the antique pile and flatweave surfaces.

How do I identify different tribal weaving styles?

Regional motifs such as Turkmen guls, Baluch prayer designs, or Qashqai geometric fields point to specific tribal origins. Examining the colour palette, weave structure, and wool preparation helps pinpoint the geographic roots of each textile.
