Where should I place a runner?

These long carpets suit narrow spaces such as hallways, corridors, and entryways. Their elongated dimensions provide floor coverage in areas with high foot traffic. Placing a runner in a passage protects underlying flooring while introducing traditional colour and pattern to transitional spaces within a home.

How do I clean an old wool rug?

Gentle surface brushing and careful vacuuming without a beater bar remove loose dust from the wool pile. Professional textile cleaning is recommended for deep washing. Avoid soaking antique foundations and keep natural wool pile away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the dyes.

What is the difference between Karaja and Heriz rugs?

Karaja pieces typically feature distinct geometric medallion layouts in smaller formats, often associated with village production in north-west Persia. Their designs rely on bold primary colours and angular borders. Heriz carpets generally present larger dimensions and heavier structural weighting, utilising prominent central geometric medallions flanked by substantial corner spandrels.

How can I tell a village rug from a tribal rug?

Village weavings usually originate from settled communities where designs follow established local templates with greater symmetry. The execution reflects shared workshop traditions within specific geographic districts. Tribal pieces often display more spontaneous or asymmetrical design variations produced by nomadic or semi-nomadic weavers. These works utilise memory patterns passed down through generations.
