How do I care for an antique wool carpet?

Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush roll to protect the historic wool fibres. Professional cleaning is recommended when necessary to preserve the natural dyes. Keep the carpet out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the deep red and burgundy tones. Rotating the piece periodically ensures even wear in high-traffic areas.

Where were these carpets originally made?

The pieces originate from diverse regions, including the Trans-Caspian steppes, Afghanistan, Anatolia, and France. Tribal groups such as the Tekke, Yomut, and Sariq produced many of the Central Asian examples. Other items reflect European craftsmanship, such as Aubusson weave carpets, or large-scale production from centres like Amritsar. Each origin imparts distinct structural and stylistic traits.

Can I use a runner rug in a hallway?

Runner rugs suit narrow spaces such as hallways, corridors, or beside beds. Their elongated format accommodates foot traffic while introducing historical pattern to transitional areas. Ensuring a suitable underlay keeps the textile stable on hard flooring. This protects the wool foundation from excessive friction over time.
