How do I care for an antique rug?

Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush bar to protect the wool pile and delicate foundation threads. Keep the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent the natural dyes from fading unevenly over time.

Are these rugs suitable for high traffic areas?

Sturdier village and tribal weaves handle regular footsteps well when supported by a quality underlay. Fine silk highlight carpets benefit from placement in quieter rooms to preserve their delicate highlights.

How do I distinguish regional styles?

Caucasian pieces tend to feature bold geometric motifs and strong primary colours like red and blue. Persian town carpets often display intricate floral medallions, curvilinear vine scrolls, and sophisticated border arrangements.

What is a runner rug used for?

Runners provide long, narrow floor coverage suited to hallways, corridors, and narrow staircases. They protect high traffic wooden flooring while adding warmth and traditional pattern to transition spaces.
