Where were these runners made?

These runners were produced in the Caucasus region by village and tribal weavers. Specific designs connect to districts such as Gendje and Moghan. Production largely took place during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries before commercial dyes and modern looms altered traditional methods.

What materials make up these rugs?

The pile consists of hand-spun wool, which provides both durability and a soft texture underfoot. Foundations typically utilise cotton or wool threads for the warp and weft. Natural dyes provide the characteristic colour palette found across the regional patterns.

How do I identify a regional design?

Regional types often display distinct structural motifs. Moghan examples frequently incorporate Memling guls or hooked medallions, while Gendje pieces may feature diagonal stripes or colourful boteh patterns. Fachralo types are commonly associated with specific prayer rug layouts and large central squares.

How should I care for an antique runner?

Place the runner in areas with moderate foot traffic to preserve the wool pile over time. Use an appropriate underlay to prevent slipping and reduce friction against the floor. Vacuum gently without using a rotating brush roll and consult a specialist in antique textiles for professional cleaning.
