Where should I place a runner?

These narrow textiles suit hallways, corridors, and galley kitchens where floor space is elongated. Their proportions guide movement through a home while protecting timber or stone flooring. Ensure you measure the passage width and length carefully, leaving a uniform border of exposed floor around the edges of the carpet.

How do I care for wool runners?

Vacuum the surface gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotating brush bar to protect the delicate pile and fringe ends. Rotate the piece periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly across the length. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing. Professional cleaning should be undertaken by specialists familiar with antique textiles.

How are different regional styles identified?

Regional attribution relies on examining the palette, border arrangements, and specific botanical motifs woven into the field. Persian workshops often feature curvilinear vine scrolls and central medallions, whereas Caucasian pieces tend towards geometric precision and stylized floral lattices. Structure, including the twist of the yarn and the colour of the selvedges, provides further clues to a carpet's geographical origin.

Are these runners durable enough for daily use?

Hand-knotted wool textiles woven with sturdy cotton foundations are inherently resilient and built to handle regular foot traffic. The natural elasticity and lanolin content of traditional wool help the fibres recover from compression. Using a quality underlay beneath the textile prevents slipping and reduces friction between the floorboards and the foundation.
