Where should I place a runner?

These long formats suit narrow hallways, corridors, and entryways where foot traffic is frequent. Their proportions also work effectively alongside long furniture pieces or beside beds. Ensure the floor space accommodates the specific length and width of the runner to maintain proper clearance for doors and foot traffic.

How do I clean my rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll removes surface dust from the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning remains essential for deep washing to preserve the natural fibres. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemical treatments that can damage the delicate balance of wool and cotton foundations.

Are these pieces hand-knotted?

The inventory consists entirely of hand-knotted village textiles produced by traditional Persian weavers. Each knot is tied by hand onto a cotton warp foundation using local wool. This artisanal method creates the characteristic durability and unique variations found across antique village carpets.

What materials are used?

The construction relies on a sturdy cotton foundation combined with a thick wool pile. Natural wool provides warmth and resilience, while cotton provides structural stability. These traditional materials ensure the textiles endure decades of household use while maintaining their structural integrity.

How do I date these items?

Dating relies on stylistic markers, structural analysis, and the characteristics of the wool and dyes used by the weavers. Pieces span the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. Regional weaving traits and traditional village motifs provide further clues to determine the approximate decade of production.
