1653 · 3'5" x 10'3" Persian Mahal Runner Rug

This is a lovely rug with small rosettes and curling vines on a gray beige field. The gray beige field carries a sparse repeat of small rosettes and curling vines in dusty rose, faded red and pale teal. No central medallion anchors the design, only this open all-over pattern spread across the length. The gorgeous main border matches the field ground, carrying a simple brown wavy line. Narrow guard stripes echo this same undulating motif on either side. A full antique wash has brought every color to one warmth, none at strength. Pile runs low in spots through the middle, where the foundation shows through. It brings warmth to a passage, letting the soft pink and blue notes stay gentle. At 3'5" by 10'3", 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.
