3050 · 2'7" x 9'2" Persian Torkaman Runner Rug

Rows of octagonal gul motifs in near-black repeat down this charming runner. On a deep red field, rows of octagonal gul motifs in near-black repeat down the length in two columns. Small cross-shaped figures sit between the guls, filling the open ground with fine near-black lines. The field has no central medallion, keeping the focus on the strict vertical grid. A gorgeous main border of near-black diamonds on a red ground frames the design, flanked by narrow guard stripes with small geometric marks. The pile has thinned in a few patches across the red, where small pale specks show. It anchors a passage, with the strong red and near-black geometry holding the space. At 2'7" by 9'2", 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.
