Frequently Asked Questions

An antique rug at NASIRI is a handwoven textile that is typically 80-120+ years old, crafted using entirely natural materials and traditional weaving techniques. Each antique carpet tells a story of cultural heritage and artistic mastery. These rugs have been hand-selected by experts who travel globally to source pieces meeting our rigorous standards for authenticity, construction quality, and visual appeal.

Antique Persian and Oriental rugs are investments in timeless artistry and cultural heritage. Unlike machine-made carpets, authentic antique rugs appreciate in value when properly cared for. Owners of NASIRI antique rugs report their pieces become centerpieces, valued for sophisticated color palettes from natural dyes and superior hand-knotted construction lasting centuries.

Each antique rug undergoes meticulous restoration by master conservators understanding the balance between functionality and preservation. We employ conservative restoration techniques that strengthen structural integrity while maintaining aged character and color evolution. This ensures your rug is beautiful to live with while retaining authentication and investment value.

Featured types include Heriz rugs from northwestern Iran with bold geometric patterns and rich reds, Sultanabad carpets featuring elegant classical designs, Tabriz rugs recognized for intricate silk details and masterful craftsmanship, Malayer pieces with distinctive village aesthetics, and Northwest Persian carpets blending tribal and classical traditions.

Absolutely. Antique rugs were originally created for everyday domestic use in homes where families lived for decades or centuries. This heritage means many pieces are exceptionally durable. Key to success: employ quality rug pads, establish regular maintenance, address spills promptly, and schedule professional cleaning annually.

Recommended maintenance includes: using quality non-slip rug pads, vacuuming with beater-bar-free vacuum at moderate power, rotating 180 degrees every 12-18 months, immediately blotting liquid spills with white cloths, placing furniture pads under heavy pieces, keeping away from direct sunlight, and arranging professional cleaning every 18-24 months.

While technically possible, we recommend keeping antique rugs in original dimensions. Resizing significantly reduces historical authenticity and market value. For special projects, our network of master craftspeople can professionally bind or reduce pieces while attempting to preserve original weave, only for truly exceptional circumstances.
