How do I clean a woven wool area carpet?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating power brush helps remove grit from the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains necessary for deeper maintenance. Water exposure should be managed carefully to prevent dye migration in older natural-dyed textiles. Allowing adequate airflow prevents moisture retention within the wool fibres.

Where were these carpets traditionally used?

Nomadic tribes and village weavers produced these textiles for domestic floor coverings, bedding, and division within tents. City workshops created larger formats for formal reception rooms. Smaller formats often served as hearth rugs or dedicated prayer mats. Larger carpets anchored the seating arrangements in grand nineteenth-century interiors.

How do I tell Persian carpets from Caucasian ones?

Persian pieces frequently incorporate curvilinear floral sprays, intricate vine scrolls, and large central medallions. Village workshops in Persia often blend geometric elements with traditional floral themes. Caucasian carpets favour bold, rectilinear geometries, stylised animal forms, and sharper polygonal medallions. Their colour palettes tend to deploy stark contrasts with deep indigo and bright red.

How do I protect the carpet from furniture?

Distributing weight using furniture cups prevents heavy table legs from crushing the wool pile. Periodic rotation ensures even wear patterns across high-traffic areas. Underlays provide grip on smooth flooring while cushioning the foundation against sharp impacts. This reduces friction between the floorboards and the wool warp.
