2549 · 2'7" x 10'1" Persian Borujerd Runner Rug

Pale gray beige flower heads and hooked leaves repeat down the length of this charming rug. Worked on a gray brown field, delicate pale gray beige flower heads and hooked leaves repeat down the length, with patches of pale blue showing among them. A line of larger rosettes runs down the middle on a thin stem, in place of a medallion. No corner pieces break the all-over layout, which carries to both ends of the runner. A narrow main border on a tan ground carries fine brown lines and small diamonds, with thin brown and blue lines beside it. The colors are softened by a light antique wash that stops short of the drawing, and fine white specks show through the pile in places. It anchors a narrow passage, the pale blue patches cooling the warm brown. At 2'7" by 10'1", 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.
