Chris, any period appearance polypropylene runner should work. I would check the backing material to ensure it is not rough, if it is then a layer of 1/8 " untreated felt should provide enough padding and protection. Check under the runner periodically when undertaking your scheduled maintenance to ensure all is well and it is not a hiding place for insects. Also ensure that dirt and grit is removed promply as this will work as an abrasive between the layers.

Subject: Re: historic rugs and floors
Thanks to all those who responded to my question about protecting antique
rugs in historic houses. You were a big help. Now, a follow-up question: Do
you know of any suppliers of museum quality runners to place over the rugs?
Any leads would be helpful.
Thanks again,
