Where were these rugs made?

These textiles originate from various regions across Anatolia, including towns and nomadic camps such as Bergama, Konya, Ushak, and Kirsehir. Each area developed distinct weaving traditions, colour palettes, and geometric or floral vocabulary. Local village weavers produced these pieces for domestic use, trade, or ceremonial purposes, resulting in wide regional variation within the broader tradition.

How do I care for an antique rug?

Regular, gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove embedded dust and grit that can damage wool fibres over time. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles should be used periodically. Keeping the rug out of direct, harsh sunlight prevents the natural dyes from fading prematurely and preserves the contrast of the design.

Can I use runners in hallways?

Narrow runners and long formats are well suited for hallways, corridors, and narrow passageways where linear floor coverings add warmth and texture. Placing a suitable rug underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and reduces friction against the floorboards. Choosing a piece with sturdy wool construction ensures the runner handles frequent foot traffic effectively.

A flatweave is constructed without knotted pile, relying instead on the interlacing of warp and weft threads to form the pattern. This technique produces a lighter, thinner textile that lies flat on the floor. Flatweaves include kilims and half-kilim runners, often characterised by sharp geometric motifs and reversible designs.
