How do I clean an old carpet?

Gentle surface brushing and professional specialist washing preserve the natural wool fibres and historic dyes. Avoid harsh chemical treatments and excessive water immersion. Regular light vacuuming without a beater bar prevents dust accumulation in the dense pile. Specialist textile conservators can safely address deeper soil without compromising the structural integrity of the foundation.

Can I place these on heated floors?

Underfloor heating is generally acceptable provided the temperature remains moderate and stable. Extreme dry heat can dessicate historic natural wool and cotton foundations. Using a breathable underlay helps distribute warmth evenly and prevents the carpet from sliding on hard surfaces. Inspect the underside periodically to ensure the fibres do not become overly dry or brittle.

How do I distinguish regional styles?

Regional identity reveals itself through distinct structural characteristics, colour palettes, and recurring motifs. Heriz carpets often feature bold geometric medallions, whereas Isfahan pieces display refined floral curves. Examining the selvedge binding, knotting technique, and wool texture further clarifies the specific village or tribal workshop of origin. Reference literature on Persian weaving provides detailed comparisons for attribution.

Are these suitable for high traffic areas?

Traditional hand-knotted wool carpets possess inherent durability that withstands regular foot traffic. The lanolin naturally present in hand-spun wool resists dirt and cushions the pile against compression. Rotating the placement periodically ensures even wear across the surface. Entryways and heavy corridors benefit from placing these textiles where the weight distributes evenly.
