How do I clean an old wool rug?

Gentle surface brushing and professional specialist washing maintain the integrity of natural fibres without disturbing the foundation. Avoid harsh chemical treatments or heavy soaking that might disrupt the natural dyes and hand-spun wool pile.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Dense wool construction and sturdy hand-knotted foundations provide natural resilience for daily use in hallways and living spaces. Thicker pile variations absorb impact well while retaining their structural form. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the textile prevents slippage and reduces wear on hard floors.

How do I distinguish city carpets from tribal rugs?

City workshop pieces usually feature curvilinear floral arrangements, precise symmetry, and sophisticated medallion layouts created on fixed vertical looms. Nomadic and village examples lean towards bolder geometric shapes, rectilinear motifs, and asymmetrical tribal character. Materials and knotting density also offer clear clues to their geographic origin and production background.
