5445 · 3'7" x 9'7" Persian Azerbaijan Runner Rug

Three large hexagonal medallions in faded red run down the central axis of this charming rug. The field is gray brown, with the open ground left plain between the central forms. Three large hexagonal medallions in faded red run down the central axis, each holding a stepped geometric core in olive and orange. Small diamonds with cream and orange centers sit between them in red. The splendid border is a series of bands in burgundy and brown, carrying small diamonds and flower heads in olive, cream and orange. Narrow bands in near-black and brown frame the field along the long edges. Tiny pale specks dot the field and show where the pile is low. In a hallway, the gray brown field balances the red medallions so they stay light. At 3'7" by 9'7", 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.
