1269 · 3'1" x 9'8" Persian Hamedan Runner Rug

Small rosettes with gray square cores and orange sides are strung down the center of this lovely rug. At the center, hooked figures in burgundy, red and olive stand on a brown field. No single medallion rules the field. Small rosettes with gray square cores and orange sides are strung down the center between pairs of stepped, hooked shapes. The handsome border pairs a red band of small leaf shapes in green and rust with a gray brown band of red hooks. Fine cream lines set the bands apart. The pile is low in places, with pale specks of foundation showing. It suits a narrow passage, where the brown ground gives the red figures room. At 3'1" by 9'8", 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.
