Rug
and Carpet Runner is a rug in any size from about 2' x 5' to 3'+ x
20'+. Most Rug and Carpet Runner runners measure about 2'6" wide.
Rug and Carpet Runner runners can be as narrow as 2' or wider than
3', but as widths diverge from 2'6", the number of Rug and Carpet
Runner runners found decreases. There is a slight tendency for
runner width to increase as runner length increases. It is not
uncommon, for instance, to find 18' or 20' runners that measure 2'8"
or 2'9" in width.
An oriental Rug and Carpet Runner is a piled or flatwoven fabric
hand-knotted in one of the traditional weaving areas of the Middle
or Far East. Genuine Rug and Carpet Runner runners come from
Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, Tibet, Turkey,
some of the southern territories of the old Soviet Union (like
Azerbaijan or Armenia), Balkan countries like Romania and Albania,
and some North African countries like Morocco and Egypt. A Genuine
Oriental Rug and Carpet Runner is not made in Belgium or anywhere
else in Western Europe or in the United States. No genuine
Oriental rugs are made of nylon or polypropylene.
Oriental Rug and Carpet Runner are either knotted with pile or woven
without pile. Oriental Rug and Carpet Runner made by machine or any
method other than hand knotting or hand weaving are not considered
authentic oriental Rug and Carpet Runner.
