Where should I place a long runner?

These narrow formats suit long hallways, stair landings, and gallery spaces where they soften floorboards and direct foot traffic. Their elongated proportions bridge open rooms while protecting high-traffic wooden flooring from daily wear.

How do I care for antique wool runners?

Gentle, regular vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation within the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning handles deeper maintenance without disturbing the hand-spun fibres and natural dyes.

What is a tribal runner?

Tribal rugs originate from nomadic or village weavers rather than urban workshops. They carry geometric memory patterns and informal designs. These pieces reflect local cultural motifs rather than strict cartographic planning.

How do I read runner dimensions?

Dimensions are provided in metric or feet and inches to indicate the exact length and width of the carpet. Narrow widths around ninety centimetres pair with lengths scaling past three metres for corridors. Checking these measurements against your hallway ensures appropriate clearance for doors and skirting boards.
