1287 · 3'7" x 10'11" Persian Ferdos Runner Rug

Near-black octagonal guls form two columns on this charming rug. Within a deep red field, two columns of handsome near-black octagonal guls run down the length, each holding cream, red and blue forms. Small diamond motifs in red and near-black sit between the larger emblems. The border is navy, carrying large red star rosettes with black diamond centers and angular hooked forms. Narrow guard bands of red and near-black diamonds flank the border, with finer stripes inside. The pile is worn low across the face, and the foundation shows through in places. The navy frame cools the red interior along a long passage. At 3'7" by 10'11", 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.
