1236 · 3'9" x 11' Persian Arak Runner Rug

The deep red field of this lovely rug is filled with small brown and near-black motifs. Worked on a deep red field, rows of small brown and near-black motifs with teal centers repeat across the whole length. No medallion interrupts them. A beautiful cream main border carries angular figures and arrows in red, with touches of teal and brown. Near-black bands with red zigzags run inside and outside it, and thin teal and gold stripes mark the edges. A brown zigzag band edges the field itself. Pile runs low in spots across the field. The red ground fills a narrow passage, while the cream border keeps the edges light. At 3'9" by 11', 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. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
