3413 · 3'8" x 13'5" Persian Ardabil Runner Rug

The wide beige main border with its soft brown zigzag makes this an amazing rug. Three handsome octagonal brown medallions step down a beige field in a single column, each filled with cream hooks around a small core with a rust red star, reading coral. Stepped dark brown side pieces sit between them, and dainty star flowers in cream, brown and coral red fill the gaps along the center line. A row of three star flowers closes each end of the field. The wide beige main border carries a soft brown zigzag, with a guard stripe of cream zigzags on dark brown between it and the field. The pile is full along the whole length, and the beige deepens slightly toward one end. It brings a warm, low-key line into a narrow space, with beige and brown as the base and the coral red turning up as small accents. At 3'8" by 13'5", 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.
