FAQs

Caucasian runner rugs originated in the Caucasus region during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Handwoven by village and nomadic weavers, these long, narrow carpets feature distinctive geometric motifs, bold polygonal medallions, and vivid natural dye colour palettes.

Authentic Caucasian rugs were woven using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the underlying warp and weft foundation. The yarn was dyed using organic vegetable, plant, and mineral sources to achieve deep reds, blues, ochres, and terracottas.

Authentic 19th-century Caucasian runners feature a soft woollen warp and pile, irregular hand-woven selvedges, and natural abrash colour variations. The decorative patterns consist of tribal geometric devices, hooked medallions, and zoomorphic figures rendered entirely from memory rather than manufactured cartoons.

Position a long tribal runner in an entrance corridor, hallway, or alongside a kitchen island to introduce warm colour and historic texture. The bold geometric patterns contrast effectively with polished timber flooring, stone tiles, and contemporary neutral furnishings.

Protect the rug by placing a dedicated non-slip underlay beneath it to reduce surface friction. Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush bar, and address liquid spills immediately by blotting with a damp, un-dyed cloth.
