These hand-knotted stairway runners were recently installed by us in a New Hope, Pennsylvania home as part of an ongoing redecorating project by the owners. The stairway configuration is common in homes. The required lengths for the runners to properly fit were non-standard however, which necessitated cutting the excess from the field of each rug and reattaching its border. This option was less costly, and achieved more expeditiously than the alternative of commissioning a set of custom-made runners. The fact hat the augmentation was achieved without adverse impact on the inherent beauty of the individual rugs demonsrates too that this option can be chosen with confidence when alternatives are unsatisfactory.
