Where were these rugs made?

These textiles originate from nomadic and village weavers across the borderlands of Persia and Afghanistan. Communities such as the Taimani, Timuri, and Mushwani produced them in tribal regions. The makers utilised locally sourced materials from their flocks, working within distinct regional traditions that spanned generations of nomadic movement.

How do I care for my rug?

Protect the wool pile by vacuuming gently without a rotating brush roll to prevent snagging the hand-spun threads. Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to preserve the stability of natural dyes. Rotate the piece periodically to ensure even wear across high-traffic hallway areas, and use a breathable underlay to keep the foundation secure.

How do I spot natural dyes?

Natural dyes display subtle tonal shifts, known as abrash, caused by variations in wool dye baths over time. These variations give the surface a gentle, living depth rather than a flat uniformity. Colours mellow gracefully with age, maintaining rich undertones derived from local plant and root extracts.
