{"product_id":"1652-3x10-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-runner-rug","title":"1652 - Persian Hamedan Runner Rug 3'5\" x 10'5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lovely central diamond medallion holds a brown rosette on the cream field. The cream field carries a dense lattice of brown geometric motifs and small slate blue accents. A central diamond medallion holds a brown rosette with a blue ring at its core. Pale triangular pieces with stepped blue edges close the field at each end. The outer border has a gray beige ground, set with charming stylized flowers and small figures in brown and slate blue. Thin guard stripes in blue and brown enclose this outer band, and a blue sawtooth edge runs along its outside. Here and there the pile runs low in small spots. It suits a passage, with the brown drawing and slate blue notes staying muted against the cream ground. At 3'5\" by 10'5\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcbatana, the ancient city under Hamedan, was the capital of Media and later the summer residence of the Achaemenid kings. The physician and philosopher Avicenna died in Hamedan in 1037, and in the 1950s his tomb there was rebuilt as a mausoleum with a museum and a library. Hundreds of villages around the western Persian city of Hamedan have sent rugs to its markets for generations. Hamedan specializes in long narrow formats, woven for the corridors of local houses, which is why so many fine vintage runners come from here. This runner keeps that long format and a dense geometric drawing. The brown lattice and slate blue accents sit clearly on the cream ground, with the central diamond anchoring the length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54424551063865,"sku":"CAN_1652_103x317","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/1652_1_Ozel.jpg?v=1788487313","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/1652-3x10-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-runner-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
