FAQs

North-West Persian runners originate from the weaving traditions of villages and nomadic tribes in the Azerbaijan region of Iran, renowned for distinct geometric and medallion motifs.

These pieces are traditionally constructed with hand-spun wool piles on cotton or wool foundations, utilizing hand-knotted techniques and natural vegetable dyes.

Authenticity is identified by examining the irregular knots on the reverse, natural variations in vegetable-dyed wool, and wear patterns consistent with age and handcrafting.

Antique runners add texture and heritage to modern hallways and corridors, contrasting cleanly against minimalist flooring and neutral architectural backdrops.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional specialist cleaning, and the use of quality underlays to prevent slippage and wear.
