Where were these runners placed?

These narrow formats were designed for hallways, long corridors and transitional spaces within traditional homes. Their dimensions suited high-traffic walkways where standard rectangular carpets would not fit. Nomadic and village households also utilised long formats inside tents and permanent dwellings to line the perimeter of living areas.

How do I care for an old wool runner?

Protect the textile by placing a suitable underlay beneath it to prevent slipping and reduce friction against the floorboards. Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll helps remove embedded dust from the wool pile. Keep the piece away from direct, continuous sunlight to preserve the natural dyes, and rotate the runner periodically to ensure even wear.

What is the difference between village and tribal rugs?

Village pieces were typically woven by settled communities in specific regional centres such as Hamadan, Bidjar or Heriz, often following structured market designs. These items reflect established local weaving traditions and commercial distribution networks. Tribal pieces originated from nomadic or semi-nomadic confederacies like the Bakhtiari, Qashqa'i or Baluch, incorporating memory-driven motifs and symbols unique to each group.

How can I tell the age of a piece?

Age is assessed by examining the palette of natural dyes, the handling of the wool, structural wear patterns and traditional regional design characteristics. Pieces dating from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries display specific structural traits and dye maturation. Variations in handspinning irregularities and foundation materials also provide clues to the period of manufacture before commercial yarns became prevalent.
