Where should I place a woven wool runner?

These pieces suit narrow corridors, hallways, and entranceways where linear textiles soften hard flooring. They also function well alongside kitchen islands or beside beds to add warmth underfoot.

How do I clean an antique wool runner?

Gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush attachment removes loose surface dirt effectively. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for deeper maintenance to protect natural dyes.

Are these runners durable for heavy traffic?

Traditional hand-knotted wool construction provides high natural resilience and strength. Using a quality underlay helps absorb impact and prevents slipping in busy corridors.

How do I identify the regional origin?

Design motifs, border structures, and colour palettes often point to specific weaving traditions like Caucasian or Persian. Knotting techniques and material preparation offer further clues to geographic provenance.
