5417 · 2'11" x 10'2" Persian Lori Runner Rug

A column of seven stepped diamond medallions runs the length of this charming rug. Set within a navy field, a column of seven stepped diamond medallions runs the length of the rug. Each medallion holds a rust red or teal core framed by cream steps, and several cores are worn to brown. Small animals and plant sprigs in cream and rust fill the open ground between them. The handsome border proper is dark navy with small red and cream figures, and a coral red band runs inside it, edged by thin cream dotted lines. Patches through the center are worn down to the foundation, mostly across the medallion cores, and the rest of the pile is full. It holds a steady rhythm in a narrow space, and the cream steps lift the navy. At 2'11" by 10'2", 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.
