The brick field, crowded with tiny flower heads, gives this lovely runner its warmth. Rows of herati, the fish-and-leaf lattice, fill the brick field from end to end. Each small diamond holds an orange, cream or blue rosette, ringed by dark curling leaves. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, so the pattern runs the whole length. The handsome main border has a near-black ground carrying orange and cream flower heads on a graceful vine, with larger blue flowers set at intervals. A cream sawtooth guard stripe edges the field, and narrow brick stripes run on either side of the border. The pile is low. The dense drawing keeps a long hall lively, and the blue flowers in the border cool all that brick and orange. At 3'3" by 13'3", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Hosseinabad rugs
Rugs from the villages around Hamedan were taken to the city, long one of the great rug markets of Persia, and were often sold abroad under its name. Several generations ago many of these rugs were traded through Mosul, and so were known as Mosul rugs. Hosseinabad is a village name that appears across the Hamedan weaving country of western Persia, and these are plain-spoken village rugs. This runner shares that village plainness: one small unit repeated down the field, with dark outlines that keep every flower clear. The herati lattice runs edge to edge, and the cream sawtooth line holds it in. In the border, the blue flowers sit at steady intervals along the near-black ground, and its orange touches answer the orange rosettes of the field.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
