Where should I place a long runner?

These textiles suit high-traffic domestic corridors, narrow entrance halls, and long landings where linear floor covering is required. Their elongated proportions protect wooden floorboards in heavily used transitional spaces without overwhelming small rooms.

How do I identify a village rug?

Village pieces often display asymmetrical geometric patterns, stylized animal or human figures, and spontaneous colour shifts woven from memory rather than strict cartoons. They generally show slightly coarser knotting and heavier wool foundations compared to city workshop productions.

What is camel hair used for?

Weavers incorporated un-dyed camel hair to introduce warm golden-brown and sandy tones into the background or border designs. This material provides natural colour variation that does not fade or shift in the same manner as dyed wool.

How do flatweaves differ from piled rugs?

Flatweaves lack a raised pile entirely, depending on interlocking weft threads to create a smooth, thin textile surface. This construction makes them lighter and easier to lift for cleaning, though they offer less cushion underfoot than knotted wool piles.
