A column of orange hexagonal medallions runs the length of this lovely runner. Over a deep red field, each hexagon carries a stepped ivory outline with small hooks, and short stems link one to the next. Inside, slim bars cross around small diamonds, and a few cores hold blue crosses. Pretty eight-pointed stars in ivory, pink and blue fill the red between them. A narrow guard stripe of small triangles in blue, gold and pink frames the field. Next comes a beautiful ivory band with a row of double-hooked motifs in blue, gold and pink. The outer border is red, set with rosettes and small leaves. The pile is low throughout. It grounds a long hallway, letting the orange hexagons glow against the deep red. At 3'3" by 13'4", 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 Hamedan rugs
Hamedan was the capital of the Seljuq sultans for 50 years, from the second half of the 12th century. It is a trade center on the main highway between Tehran and Baghdad, and in the Persian rug trade its rugs rank second only to the carpets of Kerman. Hundreds of villages around the western Persian city of Hamedan have sent rugs to its markets for generations. The city specializes in long narrow formats, woven for the corridors of local houses. This runner keeps that long narrow shape, with its medallions strung one after another down the full length. Its colors sit in strong contrast: orange medallions on deep red, a bright ivory band, and touches of blue in the stars and the guard stripe. The outer red border closes it all with a quiet row of rosettes.

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.
