Caucasian Rugs
An Antique Caucasian Talish Rug is a prized collectible among rug connoisseurs, renowned for its striking simplicity, elegant proportions, and bold use of color. Woven by the Talish people, an ethnic group from the southeastern Caucasus, these rugs hail from an area that now borders Azerbaijan and Iran, and they were most actively produced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
