5476 · 2'11" x 7'7" Persian Saveh Runner Rug

A single column of eight stepped octagonal medallions on a deep red field makes this a lovely rug. Worked on a deep red field, eight stepped octagonal medallions run down the center in a single column. Each medallion holds a splendid slate blue and cream geometric star with a small red core, framed by hooked lines. A near-black band forms the main border, dotted with pretty rosettes in rust, red, cream and steel blue. Narrow guard stripes of orange and a diamond lattice in blue and red edge the field on both sides. The pile is full across the face, though small white specks dot the red ground. It brings a strong vertical rhythm to a narrow space, the cool slate blue centers breaking up the warm red. At 2'11" by 7'7", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside 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.
