This antique Hamedan runner (3.6 × 9.5 ft) is a bold expression of Persian village weaving, showcasing a high-contrast palette that captures attention with every step. The deep indigo field provides a dramatic backdrop for the vivid rust, coral, and ivory floral motifs that spiral rhythmically through the length of the rug.
A classic Herati-inspired pattern anchors the composition, while serrated leaves and stylized blossoms suggest the weaver’s rustic yet refined hand. Framed by a rich series of red and olive-toned borders, the piece exudes strength, harmony, and symmetry.
Its narrower profile makes it ideal for hallways, transitional spaces, or alongside a bookcase in a moody study. The rug’s luminous wool pile, dyed with natural pigments, adds both comfort and centuries-old charm.
