Antique and Vintage Runner Rugs

Antique and Vintage Runners for Sale in the UK

Runners are slim, elongated rugs made to fit corridors, stairs, kitchens, or any long, narrow space. They deliver warmth, softness underfoot, and style without overwhelming the floor.

Features of Our Vintage Runner Rugs

• Length & proportion: Correctly scaled for halls, stairs and landings so ends align nicely with doors or walls.
• Pile & weave: Hand-knotted or flatweave, durable pile or tight flat-knit that resists heavy foot traffic.
• Edges & binding: Well-trimmed edges, reinforced ends and side binding (to avoid fraying).
• Backing & grip: Consider a good underlay or anti-slip backing for safety, especially on stairs.

Why choose our vintage & antique runners?

• Sourced pieces with authentic wear that adds character, not damage.
• Natural dyes, wool pile, or traditional flat-weave methods.
• Professionally cleaned and restored where needed before dispatch.
• Transparent condition notes and photos so you know exactly what you’re buying.

How to select the perfect runner

Care & maintenance

• Vacuum regularly using gentle suction (no power brush on delicate edges).
• Rotate the runner every few months to even out wear and fading.
• Use an underlay or gripper to prevent slipping.
• Address stains quickly: blot gently, mild soap only, avoid soaking.
• Have heavy restoration done professionally.
