How do I choose the correct runner length?

Measure the clear floor space of your hallway, leaving a uniform margin of exposed wood or tile around the perimeter. This ensures the carpet anchors the space without overwhelming the corridor. Account for doors that need to clear the pile thickness when fully opened. Selecting the appropriate length protects both the floor and the edges of the textile.

Where should I place a long hallway runner?

Position these carpets in high-traffic corridors, entrance halls, or long landing spaces where linear floor coverage adds warmth. They soften footsteps and guide movement through domestic layouts. Keep them away from damp areas or direct moisture to preserve the wool and cotton fibres over time.

How do I care for an antique wool runner?

Vacuum the carpet gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotating brush bar to protect the wool pile. Regular cleaning prevents grit from settling into the foundation. Rotate the runner periodically to distribute wear evenly along high-traffic paths in your hallway.

What distinguishes Caucasian runners from Persian ones?

Caucasian pieces tend to display geometric lattices, bold rectilinear motifs, and stark contrasting palettes. They reflect the rugged aesthetic of mountain weaving traditions. Persian examples often incorporate curvilinear floral elements, medallions, and balanced traditional field designs originating from village workshops.
