4375 · 2'11" x 10'6" Persian Gorevan Runner Rug

The navy and cream medallions make this a lovely rug. Down the burgundy field runs a line of beautiful angular medallions: dark navy at each end, rose beside them, and cream at the center. Each is outlined in pale blue or violet, with graceful curled tips and a small cartouche at its core. Crosses and leaf devices in rose and blue sit in the red between them. Small blocks sit in the four corners of the field, with more devices past the last medallions. The cream main border holds small red and blue flower heads between triangles, with a narrow zigzag guard stripe inside it. A few low, paler spots in the red show where the pile has thinned. The navy and cream medallions do the work in a narrow space, with the red setting the warmth. At 2'11" by 10'6", 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.
