How do I place a runner in a narrow hall?

A long runner should leave an equal margin of bare floorboards or stone visible on either side along the length of the corridor. Centring the piece allows the geometric borders and tribal motifs to draw the eye down the entire passage without crowding the walls.

What underlay works best for these rugs?

A breathable, rubberised mesh underlay provides the necessary grip on smooth hallway floors to keep the wool structure stable. This adds a layer of cushioning that protects the historic cotton foundation from sharp impacts against hard floor surfaces.

How do I clean old wool runners?

Routine gentle vacuuming without a rotating power brush removes embedded grit from the base of the hand-spun pile. Professional specialist washing remains essential for deep cleaning to protect the natural dyes and historical wool fibres from damage.

How do I date an antique runner?
