{"product_id":"11067-3x10-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11067 - Persian Hamedan Runner Rug 3'1\" x 10'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA tall column of stepped medallions runs the length of this charming runner. On a dusty rose field, small hooks, crescents and tiny diamonds are scattered on both sides of a thin central pole. Three medallions sit on that pole: two near-black hexagons with serrated edges, each holding a cream diamond pieced with orange and near-black triangles. Between them sits a beautiful camel medallion with hooked corners and a near-black diamond core. Stepped pendants in near-black, cream and orange link them down the center, with a cream one at one end and an orange one at the other. The main border has a handsome near-black ground, set with a row of cream-framed squares, each holding a small triangle in orange, cream or near-black. A narrow cream guard stripe edges the border on both sides. The pile is low across much of the field, with pale flecks where it runs lowest. It settles into a narrow passage, its near-black border closing in the warm dusty rose and camel. At 3'1\" by 10', it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcbatana, the ancient city beneath Hamedan, fell to Cyrus the Great in 550 BCE and to Alexander the Great in 330 BCE. 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 city and weaving region in western Persia, and hundreds of villages around the city have sent rugs to its markets for generations. Long narrow formats are a Hamedan specialty, woven for the corridors of local houses. This runner keeps to that long narrow format, with its medallions strung one after another down a single pole. Its border is a steady march of cream-framed squares on near-black, and the dusty rose field around the medallions is dotted with small hooks and crescents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
