Rows of vases and covered bowls fill the field of this lovely rug. The field is a deep indigo, with flowers and curling leaves set between the vases. Several of the vases carry lines of woven script on their bodies. A wide cream border repeats the theme, with more vases among flowers, inside a light blue guard stripe. Pile runs low along the whole runner. It suits a long hallway or the side of a bed. At 2'8" by 9'4", 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 Kashmar rugs
Travelers of the Safavid era remarked on the fine Khorasan carpets sold in the Persian Gulf port of Hormuz and in one of the main caravansaries of Isfahan. The Herat carpets are the classic carpets of Khorasan, and pieces in the herati pattern survive from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Kashmar lies in the Khorasan region of eastern Persia, and its workshops worked large. Wide fields, generous borders and a taste for pictorial and garden designs set it apart from the medallion tradition further west. This runner keeps to the pictorial side, with vases in place of a medallion. Indigo, cream and light blue carry the whole design.

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.
