Where should I place a woven corridor rug?

These runners suit long hallways, narrow entryways, and passages where narrow floor coverings soften footfall and protect wooden floorboards. Their elongated proportions also function effectively alongside long gallery walls or in transitional spaces between primary rooms.

How do I care for an old wool runner?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll prevents dust accumulation within the wool pile. Professional cleaning suited to antique textiles preserves the natural lanolin in the fibres. Rotating the piece periodically ensures even wear across high-traffic sections of the corridor.

Are these runners made with natural dyes?

Most pieces from these periods utilise traditional dyestuffs derived from plants and minerals. These materials yield complex, rich tones that age gracefully over decades. Subtle variations in colour within the field often indicate batch shifts in the dye vats used by village weavers.

How do I identify a Kurdish tribal runner?

Kurdish pieces frequently incorporate bold geometric motifs, latch-hook borders, and sturdy wool foundations designed for heavy domestic use. Their construction tends to feel robust and substantial in the hand. Design elements like dragon borders or all-over shrub patterns often point toward specific regional weaving groups within Kurdistan.
