How do I style a medallion rug?

Position the piece as the central focal point of a room, allowing surrounding furniture to frame the central motif without obscuring it. Ensure the scale matches the seating arrangement or dining area so the medallion remains visible and anchors the space effectively.

Where were these rugs made?

Originating from various regions across Persia, these pieces come from distinct weaving centres and tribal areas such as Heriz, Saroukh, and Hamadan. Each location developed specific design traits and colour combinations tied to local materials and cultural traditions.

How should I clean my rug?

Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush roll to protect the wool pile and prevent loosening the hand-knotted structure. Entrust deeper cleaning to specialists experienced in handling antique textiles and traditional natural dyes.

What materials make up the pile?

The pile consists primarily of natural wool, chosen for its resilience and ability to take rich dye colours over decades of use. Some finer examples incorporate silk highlights to accentuate specific details within the central medallion and border.
