4311 · 1'10" x 8'10" Persian Zanjan Runner Rug

Stepped medallions run in a column through this lovely rug. A deep red field carries a column of handsome stepped medallions in blue and brown, the upper and lower ones holding a small salmon square with a tiny figure inside. The middle one holds a red rosette. Small brown stags and birds stand in the red ground between the medallions. A near-black line outlines the field, and brown corner panels at each end hold small blue birds and red sprays. The main border is narrow and near-black, with a thin blue guard stripe. The pile is full over the red field, with a few small low spots on the blue medallions. Blue medallions divide the long red ground, fitting a tight corridor. At 1'10" by 8'10", 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.
