3132 · 3'5" x 10' Persian Hamedan Runner Rug

This remarkable rug has three stepped medallions on a deep red field. Small cream, green and red motifs plus a few stylized animals sit on the deep red field. Three stepped medallions run down the center. The middle one has a camel core with a cross form inside an indigo outline; the outer two have indigo bodies and orange cores. Handsome near-black spandrels at the four corners hold rows of small quadrupeds and comb shapes. The main border runs on an indigo ground, carrying linked forms in orange, camel, pink and cream. Thin brown and cream guard stripes edge this strip, with a row of small triangles on the field side. The pile is full. Indigo and camel contrast with the bright red field to form a bold line. At 3'5" by 10', 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.
