How do I clean an antique rug?

Antique wool textiles require specialist care rather than domestic cleaning methods. Professional textile conservators should handle washing to protect natural dyes and fragile hand-spun wool. Vacuuming should be done gently without a beater bar, running parallel to the direction of the pile or weave. Regular rotation prevents uneven wear in high-traffic areas.

Can I place a runner in a hallway?

Runners and long rugs suit narrow spaces such as hallways, corridors, and stair landings. Placing a quality underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and reduces friction against the floor. Heavy foot traffic can accelerate wear on older wool pile, so monitoring placement helps preserve the structure. Rotating the runner periodically ensures even exposure to light and use.

What does natural dye mean?

Natural dyes derive from plant, insect, and mineral sources rather than synthetic chemical compounds. Dyers in the Caucasus utilised madder, indigo, and other local flora to achieve enduring, complex colours. Over time, natural dyes develop a characteristic patina that chemically synthesized colours do not replicate. This variation in tone adds depth to the multicolour patterns.
