How do I clean an old wool rug?

Gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush attachment removes loose surface dirt without damaging the delicate wool pile or foundation threads. Professional specialist washing remains essential for deep cleaning to protect natural dyes and historic fibres from shrinkage or bleeding.

Can I use these rugs in high traffic areas?

Sturdily constructed wool and cotton village carpets handle moderate hallway and living room traffic quite well when paired with a quality underlay. Delicate antique prayer formats and finer silk or high-pile city carpets deserve placement in quieter zones to preserve their historic weave.

What is a tribal rug?

Tribal rugs are woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic groups rather than urban workshops, often using memory designs passed down through generations. These pieces typically display geometric motifs, spontaneous colour shifts and charming irregularities reflecting the weaver's immediate surroundings.

How do I identify a prayer rug?

Prayer rugs feature a distinct pointed arch or dome shape known as a mihrab at one end of the field. This architectural motif directs the user during prayer and distinguishes devotional formats from standard floor coverings.
