3x9 Vintage Rugs
Vintage Persian rugs measuring roughly 3x9 feet. Hall runners for a medium corridor.
All of them are Persian, and Hamedan is the most common name by a wide margin, followed by Arak and Zanjan. Close to half have a deep red field.
No two are the same: each runner was hand-knotted about fifty years ago, then washed and cleaned by trusted specialists before it was listed. Runners knotted by hand can run a few inches longer or shorter than the 3x9 label, so measure your hall and compare. Each listing gives the exact size in feet and inches, with centimeters after.
Free insured shipping covers the US and Canada, and returns run for seven days (fourteen in the European Union).
Where a 3x9 rug works
The 3x9 is a true runner, sized for most hallways and longer kitchen walkways. Leave a few inches of floor showing at each end so the runner looks placed rather than squeezed.
Rooms for a 3x9
Find this size in our hallway and entry rugs and kitchen rugs too, and for help measuring a hall, read choosing the right runner length.
If 3x9 is not quite right
Runner lengths vary from rug to rug, so the 3x7 rugs and 3x10 rugs may hold the length you need. Our full set of runners is in one place, and the size guide lists hallway measurements alongside every other room.
Where these runners come from
Every 3x9 rug here is Persian, and the names that come up most often are Hamedan, Zanjan and Arak. Hamedan alone accounts for more than a third of them; the Hamedan guide, the Zanjan guide and the Arak guide cover each region.
Pad and shipping
A long runner can ripple or drift on hardwood, and a thin pad keeps it lying straight; our rug pad guide explains the difference between pads. We ship each 3x9 free and insured across the US and Canada; the policy is on shipping and returns.
