Where should I place a runner?

These pieces suit narrow domestic spaces such as hallways, corridors, and entryways where length is required. They protect timber floors and add warmth to transit areas. Ensure the dimensions match the passageway, leaving a border of exposed floor on either side for visual balance.

How do I care for wool carpets?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll keeps wool pile free from embedded grit. Protect the textile from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the red dyes. Professional cleaning suited for antique textiles maintains the integrity of the wool and foundation threads over time.

What periods do these pieces span?

The examples on this page date from the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. Specifically, they cover the eighteen-seventies, eighteen-nineties, nineteen-hundreds, and nineteen-twenties. Such dates reflect the operational eras of traditional weaving communities in Persia, the Caucasus, and Afghanistan.

How do tribal designs differ?

Tribal designs from groups such as the Kurds, Shahsevan, and Azeri weavers feature geometric layouts and repeating motifs rather than court-derived floral curves. These patterns reflect regional heritage and local weaving conventions. Differences in border arrangements and field symbols help attribute pieces to specific areas like North West Persia or the Caucasus.
