Where should I place an extra long rug?

These extended formats suit long hallways, wide corridors, grand staircases and expansive landings where standard rugs fall short. They protect high-traffic wooden floors while visually connecting separate rooms. Ensure you measure the walkway carefully, leaving a uniform border of exposed floorboards on either side to showcase the proportions properly.

How do I maintain an antique wool runner?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust and grit from settling deep into the wool fibres. Using a quality underlay prevents slipping and cushions the weave against hard flooring. Professional cleaning by specialists familiar with antique textiles ensures the natural dyes and wool pile remain intact over decades of domestic use.

What styles are common in long runners?

The selection includes traditional Persian designs such as Heriz, Malayer, Bakhtiari and Kurdish tribal patterns alongside Moroccan Berber and Turkish Oushak flatweaves. Each tradition brings distinct geometric layouts or medallion structures to the narrow format. Village and nomadic weavers adapted their larger carpet motifs to fit these restricted widths, creating rhythm through repeated borders and central fields.

How do I determine the age of these pieces?

Age is assessed through structural characteristics, dye types, wool quality and stylistic motifs typical of nineteenth and twentieth-century production. Examining the back of the weave reveals the tension, knot density and material preparation of the period. Comparing the motifs against documented regional styles helps place the piece within a specific decade or era of manufacture.
