Where should I place a runner?

These long carpets suit narrow corridors, entryways, and gallery spaces where floor coverage requires a linear format. They also function well alongside kitchen islands or beside beds to add warmth underfoot.

How do I clean an old wool rug?

Gentle surface vacuuming without a beater bar removes loose dust and grit from the pile. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for deep washing to protect natural wool fibres.

Are these runners made by hand?

Traditional village and tribal weavers produced these textiles entirely by hand on upright looms. Each knot is tied individually using hand-spun wool over cotton or wool foundations.

What causes the colour variations?

Natural dyes react to light and age over decades, creating subtle shifts in tone known as abrash. Variations in wool batches also absorb dye differently, giving the surface visual depth.
