This antique Persian Hamedan runner (2.7 × 10.8 ft) offers a masterclass in balance and symmetry. At its heart lies a centered medallion — elegantly understated — surrounded by a rhythmic lattice of botanical rosettes, palmettes, and angular vinery. The design flows organically yet are carefully ordered, reflecting the refined craftsmanship of Hamedan weavers.
Set on a warm ivory ground, the color palette is composed of subtle rosewood, tea-dyed tan, olive, faded slate, and touches of coral. Decades of gentle aging have softened the contrast, giving the rug a charming patina that enhances its authenticity.
Its proportions and refined geometry make this runner a perfect addition for hallways, foyers, or alongside a kitchen island — bringing a sense of timeless heritage to everyday spaces.
