3378 · 3'9" x 17'5" Persian Hamedan Runner Rug

A chain of small lobed medallions in dark teal runs down the center of this lovely rug. A full antique wash, no color left at strength, has brought the cream field and its sage green drawing to one warm level. Vines, sprays and small blossoms in sage and brown cover the field, and a chain of small lobed medallions in dark teal runs down the center. A zigzag guard line and narrow olive stripes edge the field on every side. The main border reads olive, its dark ground carrying cream flower heads, small four-petal blossoms and curling leaves. The pile is worn low across the face, lowest in the field. The sage and cream tones stay muted in a bright passage. At 3'9" by 17'5", 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.
