Silk Rugs for Hallway & Runners
When exploring silk rugs for hallway & runners, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Pure silk carpets represent the pinnacle of the weaver's art. Because silk fibres are so fine, our hand-knotted silk rugs can carry 400-900+ knots per square inch — an extraordinary level of detail that lets master artisans render intricate Mughal florals, calligraphic borders and Persian medallions with photo-like precision. The result is a piece that catches light differently from every angle, often described as a painting underfoot.
Coupled with this, a runner softens the longest, most-walked surface in any home — and turns a transitional space into a designed one. The right length is critical: leave 6-12 inches of floor visible at each end of the runner, with even margins on the sides. Standard widths are 2 to 3 ft; we make custom lengths in any dimension you need.

How do I clean a pure silk rug?
Vacuum gently with the beater bar off, blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (never rub), and have it professionally cleaned every 18-24 months by a specialist who handles fine silk rugs. Avoid steam cleaning and chemical solvents.
Why are silk rugs so expensive?
Silk thread is significantly more expensive than wool, and the high knot density (often 600+ KPSI) means a single 6x9 ft rug can take a skilled weaver 8-14 months. You're paying for material plus thousands of hours of human craftsmanship.
What's the standard runner rug size?
Standard runner widths are 2 ft, 2.5 ft and 3 ft. Standard lengths are 6, 8 and 10 ft. For longer corridors, we make custom runners up to 20 ft on order.
How do I keep a runner from slipping?
A non-slip runner pad is essential — it stops slipping, adds cushioning, and extends the runner's life by 30-50%. We can supply one cut to your runner's exact size.
