5321 · 3'11" x 9'3" Persian Ferdos Runner Rug

Rows of brown octagonal guls run down the burgundy field in this lovely rug. On a burgundy field, rows of splendid brown octagonal guls repeat down the full length, each holding a pale core with a small geometric figure. No single medallion anchors the design; the pattern runs the full length. A blue border carries pretty rust rosettes and small stepped diamonds, framed by narrow guard stripes of brown zigzag and thin red lines. Pile runs low across much of the field, with white specks showing through, most of all through the middle. It settles along a passage, and the blue border cools the warm field. At 3'11" by 9'3", 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.
