How do I clean a wool carpet?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll removes surface grit and protects the wool pile from abrasive wear. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles remains necessary for deep soil removal. Water exposure requires careful handling to prevent dye migration or shrinkage in older foundations. Specialist technicians assess the stability of the natural dyes before applying moisture.

Can I use these carpets in high traffic areas?

Sturdily constructed village and tribal carpets handle everyday movement in hallways and living spaces reliably. The resilience of thick wool pile withstands regular foot traffic while ageing gracefully. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the floor covering prevents slipping and reduces friction against hard flooring. This simple addition extends the working life of the textile.

How do I identify a tribal rug from a city piece?

Nomadic and village carpets often display geometric motifs, memory-woven designs, and abrash variations resulting from small-scale production. Workshops in cities typically produce balanced floral layouts with precise curvilinear precision. Materials and colour palettes also offer clues, as regional weavers utilised locally available wool and specific dye traditions. Comparing structural density helps separate centralized workshop output from outlying tribal work.

What does a runner rug fit best?

Narrow formats suit hallways, staircases, and galley kitchens where floor space is limited. They introduce warmth and pattern to transitional areas without obstructing doors. Measuring the corridor width and leaving adequate borders of bare flooring lets the textile sit comfortably. Proper placement protects high-wear paths while framing the room layout.
