■ What does the Certificate of Authenticity verify?
Every Persian rug, along with select pieces within our collection, is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. This document serves as formal verification that the item is a genuine hand-knotted work, providing detailed information regarding its origin, weaving technique, and the materials used in its creation.

■ Are these rugs unique, one of kind?
Yes. Each rug in our collection is individually sourced and will not be replicated. Once sold, this exact piece is gone.

■ Can I reserve this rug before purchasing?
We are unable to hold pieces on informal reserve. If you have questions before purchasing, please reach out on WhatsApp and we'll respond promptly.

■ Why does the rug look slightly different from the photo?
Natural dyes, hand-spinning, and the weaving process mean each piece carries subtle variations in colour and texture. These are marks of genuine handmade craft, not defects.

■ How do I care for my hand-knotted rug?
Vacuum regularly on low suction without the beater bar. For spills, blot immediately — do not rub. Professional cleaning is recommended every 2–3 years. Rotate periodically to ensure even wear.
