8938 · 2'9" x 6'5" Persian Ardabil Runner Rug

Three large stepped hexagons run down the center of this charming runner. On a deep red field, three large stepped hexagons run down the center, outlined in gray beige zigzags and filled with dark teal and rose motifs. Small geometric motifs fill the open red space between these central shapes. The gorgeous main border is dark charcoal, carrying rows of small squares in dusty rose, teal and gray beige. Narrow guard stripes in gray beige and deep red line the edges of this wide band. The pile is worn broadly across the face, and the foundation shows through the red. It suits a narrow passage, where the strong red and dark border hold their own. At 2'9" by 6'5", 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.
