The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Shirvan runners are hand-knotted textiles originating from the Shirvan region in the eastern Caucasus, defined by intricate geometric patterns, bold medallions, and vibrant natural dyes.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using a hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool foundation, employing symmetrical Ghiordes knots to form precise geometric motifs.

Authentic pieces feature all-wool construction, multiple detailed border bands, distinct geometric latch-hook or stepped medallions, and characteristic natural dye variations known as abrash.

Position the runner in entryways, long corridors, or alongside a bed to introduce historical pattern, colour, and texture against timber floorboards or stone tile flooring.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, employ a dense rug pad underneath to prevent fibre wear, rotate periodically for balanced light exposure, and consult a professional conservator for deep cleaning.
