Across a deep red field, a column of stepped geometric forms runs the length of the rug in near-black and cream. Three large cross-shaped medallions anchor the center, each framed in near-black and holding a camel panel with a red core and small leafy sprigs. Small stepped diamonds and feather-like sprigs sit in the red between them. The main border is black cherry, carrying a terracotta zigzag, between thin guard bands in red and dark brown. The pile is full across the whole face, and the angular drawing stays sharp. It suits a narrow passage where the red and the near-black can lead the eye. At 2'11\" by 9'10\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ardabil Carpet in London, made for the shrine of the Safavid shahs at Ardabil, carries the year 946 in its inscription, equivalent to 1539-40. After an earthquake damaged the shrine it was sold to a Manchester firm, and the Victoria and Albert Museum bought it in 1893. High in the northwest of Persia, close to the Azerbaijani border, sits Ardabil. District weaving is firmly geometric: stepped medallions, hooked borders, strong contrast. Long formats and runners are common. This runner keeps the stepped medallions and the strong contrast, with red set against near-black. Cream lines trace every step of the near-black frames. Instead of the hooked type often seen in Ardabil, this border runs a plain zigzag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.

Khorasan has its classic carpets in those of Herat, and pieces in the herati pattern survive from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Ferdos lies in the Khorasan region of eastern Persia, in the same weaving belt as Birjand and Mashhad. The rugs tend toward repeating fields rather than a single dominant medallion, and a palette built on madder red and indigo. This runner follows that repeating field, in burgundy and blue.

Walter Hawley, writing on rugs in 1913, noted that old Hamedan runners sometimes ran twenty feet or more in length. Hundreds of villages around the western Persian city of Hamedan have sent rugs to its markets for generations. Hamedan specializes in long narrow formats, woven for the corridors of local houses, which is why so many fine vintage runners come from here. This runner has that long format, with an all-over lattice running its length.

A very dark burgundy field, leaning toward navy, holds an allover herati lattice, the fish-and-leaf pattern. Orange and coral rosettes sit in and between the diamonds, with striped curved leaves around them and fine lines framing each diamond. Neither a medallion nor corner pieces interrupt it, so the pattern runs unbroken from one short end to the other. The gorgeous cream main border carries a loose vine of coral and navy blossoms between narrow guard stripes of tiny triangles. The pile is well kept and shows only light wear.

Mahal rugs come from the villages around Arak in central Persia. They were woven large and open from the start, with a wide field, generous spacing between the motifs and a palette that leans soft. Unlike the layout often seen in Mahal rugs, this runner takes a different path in several ways. The format is narrow, the lattice is set close along the whole length, and the colors hold full strength on a dark ground. What it keeps from the region is the calm of a repeating field, with no single figure pulling the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
