Ensure the passage width allows the edges to lie flat without curling against skirting boards or door swings.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation within the wool fibres. Prompt attention to spills using dry extraction methods protects the natural dyes. Professional cleaning suited to antique textiles maintains the integrity of the handspun wool over decades of use.

How do I date an antique runner?

Dating relies on stylistic markers, structural analysis and dye characteristics consistent with nineteenth and early twentieth century production.

Comparing edge finishes and wool preparation helps narrow the period of origin between the late nineteenth century and the 1930s.
