How do I clean an antique runner?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll removes surface grit that damages the wool foundation over time. Professional specialist cleaning remains necessary for deep washing to protect natural dyes and cotton foundations. Avoid soaking or using modern chemical detergents, as these can strip the lanolin from the wool and cause dye bleeding. Prompt blotting handles accidental spills safely.

Are these runners durable for hallways?

Village-woven pieces from Northwest Persia were built specifically for heavy domestic traffic using sturdy wool pile over cotton foundations. Their dense knotting and robust materials allow them to withstand decades of regular footfall. Utilising a quality underlay beneath the runner prevents slipping and cushions the textile against hard stone or wooden flooring, extending its working lifespan.

How do I date a Karaja runner?

Dating relies on assessing the structural materials, dye characteristics, and design execution relative to documented periods from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Earlier examples often display more saturated natural palettes and slightly less rigid geometry. Comparing the weave tightness and wool texture against dated comparative pieces helps narrow down the decade of production between the 1870s and 1920s.

What is the difference between Karaja and Heriz?

Karaja pieces typically appear in smaller formats, including runners and rugs, featuring distinct village geometry and repeated medallion systems. Heriz carpets traditionally scale larger with bolder, highly architectural central medallions. Both originate from the same broader Northwest Persian sphere of production, resulting in overlapping design vocabulary and similarly durable wool construction.
