Frequently Asked Questions

Authentic antique carpets have several distinguishing features: irregular knots visible on the back, natural dye variations (abrash), signs of age-appropriate wear, and often a unique patina. We thoroughly authenticate every piece we sell and can provide documentation of origin, age, and provenance. When in doubt, our experts are happy to educate you on what to look for.

For living rooms, we recommend a carpet large enough that at least the front legs of all furniture pieces rest on it. For dining rooms, ensure the carpet extends at least 24 inches beyond the table edges to accommodate chair movement. For bedrooms, a carpet should extend 18-24 inches on each side of the bed. We offer home visits to help you visualize the perfect size for your space.
