Where should I place a long rug?

These elongated formats suit narrow transitional spaces such as hallways, landings and corridors where linear floor coverings soften foot traffic. They also work effectively alongside galley kitchens or beside large bedroom furniture to introduce texture and warmth to bare boards.

How do I care for wool pile?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation in the wool pile. Professional cleaning suited to antique textiles maintains the integrity of the natural fibres. Using an appropriate underlay prevents slippage and reduces friction against the floorboards during daily use.

How do I identify a Kurdish piece?

Kurdish long rugs often display robust wool foundations, saturated indigo or earthy backgrounds, and bold geometric or floral motifs. Their tribal weaving structure tends to feel substantial and heavy in the hand. These pieces reflect the distinct cultural iconography and weaving techniques of nomadic and village communities from western regions.

What does pile distressing indicate?

Wear and low pile areas typically reflect genuine age and decades of functional use in domestic hallways. This patination demonstrates the natural softening of the hand-spun wool over time. Such character marks highlight the historical journey of the textile rather than detracting from its structural integrity.
