Where should I place a traditional tribal runner carpet?

These elongated carpets suit high-traffic passage areas such as hallways, long landings, and entrance corridors where narrow proportions are required. Their durable wool construction withstands regular foot traffic. They also function effectively in narrow kitchen spaces or alongside bedroom furniture where a standard rectangular rug does not fit. The long format draws the eye along the length of the room.

How do I care for an old wool runner?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation in the wool pile. Avoid beating the textile or using aggressive cleaning chemicals that damage natural dyes. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for antique wool textiles to preserve the integrity of the hand-spun fibres and foundation. Placing a suitable underlay beneath the runner prevents slip and reduces friction against the floor.

How can I tell a Kurdish runner from a Kazak piece?

Kurdish weavings often feature distinct geometric repetitions, such as the mina khani lattice design, executed with heavy wool foundations. Their colour palettes tend towards earthy tones and rich, saturated blues and reds. Kazak pieces from the Caucasus typically display bolder, primary-coloured geometric medallions and starker contrasting borders. The wool quality and knotting density also offer clues to their specific regional origin.

What is the difference between a runner and a kelleh?

A runner is characterised by an elongated, narrow proportion specifically designed for corridors and hallways. Its length greatly exceeds its width. A kelleh is a much broader, substantial floor carpet format that bridges the size between standard rugs and large room carpets. Kellehs are proportioned for open rooms rather than narrow passages.
