1393 · 3' x 9'5" Persian Hamedan Runner Rug

This lovely rug repeats brown diamonds and hooked shapes down its tan field. On a tan field, brown diamonds, hooked shapes and small lattice squares repeat down the length, with touches of pale blue. There is no medallion; rows of hooked and checked figures run from end to end. A brown zigzag edge closes each end of the field. The beautiful main border is tan, carrying hooked brown figures set between small squares and dots. A narrow brown guard stripe of small leaf shapes runs along the field on either side. A full antique wash, no color left at strength, has brought the tan, brown and pale blue to one warmth. Across the middle, the drawing fades to a pale band. In a narrow passage, the tan ground lets the brown pattern stay clear. At 3' by 9'5", 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.
