FAQs

Antique Afghan runners are handwoven floor coverings traditionally produced by nomadic and village weavers in Afghanistan, known for their distinct geometric motifs and rich red colour palettes.

These pieces typically feature hand-spun wool piles knotted onto wool or cotton foundations, utilising natural vegetable and insect dyes for coloration.

Authenticity is identified through irregularities in the hand-knotted weave, natural variations in dye lots, traditional tribal iconography, and the presence of genuine age-related wear on the wool pile.

They provide grounding texture and colour when placed in transitional spaces like hallways or entryways, contrasting effectively against minimalist contemporary flooring and neutral walls.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent sliding and fibre degradation.
