1829 · 1'10" x 9'5" Persian Gharajeh Runner Rug

A column of hexagons and stepped crosses runs down the center of this charming rug. Small geometric flowers and hooked shapes in pink, sage and gold crowd the burgundy field. A column of separate medallions runs down the center, alternating hexagons with near-black cores and stepped crosses in pink and tan. Slate blue edges a few of the hexagons. The drawing runs out to a plain red selvedge, with no border or corner pieces. Pile thins in patches along the column, where pale specks of the foundation appear. It forms a strong red line down a passage, with slate blue touches cooling the warm field. At 1'10" 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.
