1529 · 1'10" x 8'8" Persian Gharajeh Runner Rug

A column of stepped medallions runs down this remarkable runner. Over a deep red field, a column of stepped medallions runs down the whole runner, large ones outlined in ivory alternating with smaller brown ones. Hooked ivory arms reach out from the large medallions, and cores of tan, teal and rose sit inside. Small hooked and cross-shaped figures fill the spaces between. The splendid main border is dark brown, carrying small tan, teal and red motifs. A narrow dotted band and a red stripe run inside the border. The pile is full across the field. The strong red ground keeps the geometric drawing clear across this narrow runner. At 1'10" by 8'8", 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.
