Where should I place a runner carpet?

These narrow textiles suit hallways, corridors, and long entryways where floor protection and visual warmth matter. Their elongated proportions also function effectively in narrow kitchens or alongside large beds.

How do I identify a tribal design?

Tribal designs feature geometric motifs, repeating guls, and stylized animal or plant forms rather than intricate floral curves. Village and nomadic weavers relied on memory and traditional symbolism rather than drawn cartouches.

What materials make up these carpets?

The pile consists of hand-spun sheep wool, occasionally supplemented with camel hair for natural brown and golden tones. Foundations typically utilise cotton or wool threads to support the knotted structure.

How do I care for an antique wool runner?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar prevents dirt accumulation within the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning every few years maintains the natural lanolin and dye stability.
