Where should I place a long antique runner?

These runners suit narrow high-traffic areas such as hallways, corridors, and long landings where floor coverings soften footsteps and protect timber boards. Their elongated proportions also make them effective alongside large pieces of furniture or in gallery spaces.

How do I care for an antique wool runner?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes trapped dirt from the wool pile without damaging the foundation threads. Professional cleaning tailored to antique textiles preserves the natural lanolin in the wool and protects the traditional dyes.

How do I identify a Persian runner from a Caucasian one?

Persian examples often feature curvilinear floral patterns, medallion layouts, and softer botanical palettes derived from regional traditions. Caucasian runners typically display sharper geometric motifs, lattice frameworks, and crisp primary colours unique to northern weaving communities.

Do these runners work on modern floors?

Their enduring geometric and floral designs complement contemporary hardwood, stone, and painted floorboards alike. Using a breathable underlay prevents slipping and cushions the traditional weave against modern subfloors.
