{"product_id":"11014-4x10-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11014 - Persian Hamedan Runner Rug 3'9\" x 10'2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pointed arch and a cream end panel frame this lovely runner. Across a midnight field, long sprays of red and pink blossoms hang around a tree of red fronds. The arch rises at one end with a cream lobed pendant at its peak, and a smaller lobed lozenge sits beneath the tree. Outside the arch, two brown spandrels hold graceful vine loops picked out in cream and blue. At the other end, a cream panel carries scrolling flowers and leaves in brown, blue and red. A handsome camel border runs a chain of small red and blue rosettes set in linked compartments. The outer guard stripe has slate blue triangles on red, and the inner one has red and pink triangles. The pile is low across the face. It holds a hallway in midnight and red, while the cream panel brightens one end. At 3'9\" by 10'2\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreek writers credited Deioces, first king of the Medes, with founding Ecbatana around 678 BCE, and modern Hamedan is built partly on the mound that holds its remains. Avicenna, the physician and philosopher, died in Hamedan in 1037, and his tomb there was rebuilt in the 1950s as a mausoleum with a museum and a library. Hamedan is a weaving city and region in western Persia, and for generations hundreds of villages around it have sent rugs to its markets. Long narrow formats are a Hamedan specialty, woven for the corridors of local houses. This runner has that long narrow format, its design laid out down the length from the arch to the cream panel. Its field holds hanging strands of red blossom on both sides of the tree, closed in by brown corners and a camel border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, approximately 60 to 100 years old. Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67927025353017,"sku":"AL_11014_115x310","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11014_1_bd6f529f-da85-465a-88e8-e8222a587225.jpg?v=1794049273","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11014-4x10-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-runner-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
