How do I choose the right length for my hallway?

Measure your corridor length while leaving an equal margin of exposed wooden floor or stone visible at both ends. Consider whether you need a single continuous long piece or a matching pair. Verify the maximum width your doors require to swing freely over the wool pile without catching. Narrow formats are particularly suited to confined landings and tight passages.

Where were these tribal runners made?

These textiles originate from weaving communities across Kurdish regions, Persia, and the Caucasus during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Tribal weavers produced them in nomadic or village workshops for domestic utility and trade. Design vocabulary often reflects the specific heritage of the weavers, incorporating regional geometric symbols and botanical interpretations into the blue field.

How do I care for an antique wool runner?

Vacuum the rug gently using suction only, avoiding rotating brush bars that can pull at the wool pile. Professional cleaning is recommended for antique textiles to protect natural dye stability. Position a suitable underlay beneath the runner to prevent slippage on hard flooring and reduce friction between the cotton foundation and the floor.
