This extraordinary antique Persian Hamedan runner (2.6 × 29 ft) is a testament to masterful craftsmanship and sheer endurance. Its slender proportions stretch nearly thirty feet, making it a rare and remarkable statement piece for expansive corridors or gallery-like spaces. The design features a richly layered lattice of floral motifs and symmetrical rosettes set against a deep crimson field, subtly contrasted by navy accents and an ivory border intricately woven with curling vines and palmettes.
Despite its length, the runner maintains impeccable balance and rhythm across its full body — a feat achieved only through the skilled hands of seasoned Persian weavers. The rug's saturated natural dyes and age-softened wool create a warm, welcoming patina that invites admiration. Ideal for long hallways or stair runners in traditional or transitional homes.
