2540 · 3'7" x 9'7" Persian Ardakan Runner Rug

Two lobed medallions with navy cores anchor this lovely rug. On a burgundy field, pretty scrolling vines and flower heads in cream, navy and deep red fill the length. Two large lobed medallions anchor the design, each holding a navy core surrounded by cream palmettes. The field between them carries smaller rosettes and curling leaves. A gorgeous navy main border runs a scroll of cream blossoms and red vines. Narrow guard stripes in cream and red run along both edges of the border. Pile is low across much of the field, and the foundation shows in scattered patches. Cream motifs break up the dark red, making this runner a warm line down a passage. At 3'7" by 9'7", 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.
