Where should I place a long runner?

These pieces suit narrow hallways, corridors, and long entryways where floor protection is needed. Their elongated dimensions fit spaces too confined for standard rectangular rugs.

How do I care for wool carpets?

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush to protect the hand-spun wool pile and delicate foundation. Professional cleaning preserves the natural dyes and structural integrity of older textiles.

What regions produced these runners?

Weavers across Persia, the Caucasus, and Anatolia produced these elongated floor coverings in distinct tribal styles. Specific regional centres such as Heriz, Hamadan, and Shirvan developed recognisable design traditions.

How do I identify a tribal design?

Tribal designs often feature geometric motifs, stylised flora, and repeating symbols created from memory by local makers. These patterns differ from formal court carpets through their expressive and less symmetrical arrangements.
