Where should I place a runner rug?

These narrow formats suit hallways, corridors, entryways, and narrow galley kitchens where linear floor coverings soften foot traffic. They also function well alongside beds or in narrow gallery spaces, protecting wood flooring while introducing colour and historic pattern.

How do I clean an antique wool rug?

Routine maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll to prevent snagging the hand-knotted wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning is necessary for deep maintenance to protect natural dyes and fragile cotton foundations.

How can I tell the age of these pieces?

Dating relies on assessing dye palettes, wool characteristics, structural wear patterns, and regional weaving structures documented across nineteenth and early twentieth-century examples. Hand-spun wool and specific tribal drawing styles often point towards the earlier decades represented in the collection.

What is the difference between tribal and village rugs?

Tribal rugs are woven by nomadic or semi-nomadic groups using memory-based geometric designs and spontaneous colour choices. Village rugs are typically produced in settled communities with more structured formatting, though both share traditional hand-knotting techniques.
