2197 · 3' x 9' Persian Bakhtiari Runner Rug

A grid of square panels makes this a wonderful rug. A grid of square panels holds stepped trees, vases and flower heads, most of the squares red, burgundy or navy and a few cream. They are worked in deep red, burgundy and navy, some on a red ground and some on cream. No medallion gathers the pattern; the garden compartments repeat down the whole length instead. A gorgeous near-black main border frames the grid, set with small cream and red crosses, and narrow dark bands of tiny crosses also divide the panels. The pile is full across the panels. Laid along a passage, the cream panels lighten the deep red and navy. At 3' by 9', 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.
