About the Item

This antique Persian hand-knotted runner measures approximately 2 ft 8 in x 9 ft 6 in (about 0.81 m x 2.90 m) and fits within the gallery runner category ideal for hallways and transitional passages. Crafted entirely from naturally dyed wool on a cotton foundation, it reflects a traditional construction heritage consistent with early 20th-century tribal weaving from Persia. The low pile height and balanced proportions make it suitable for refined interiors, including entryways, home offices, and libraries where an elegant vintage accent is desired. The design features a vertical procession of geometric medallions, each articulated with stepped edges and angular tribal forms. A soft brown ground provides a warm, neutral backdrop, while lighter beige motifs bring dimensional contrast and highlight structural elements within each medallion panel. A dark brown stepped latticework, scattered small diamonds, and symbolic secondary figures animate the field without overpowering it. The borders expand this vocabulary, incorporating repeating rosettes and rectilinear guard bars to frame the composition. Subtle abrash variations in the browns and tans—natural in vegetable-dyed wool—add authentic rhythm and depth. Technically, this runner exhibits symmetric (Turkish/Ghiordes) knotting at roughly 90–150 KPSI, offering a balanced combination of clarity in drawing and durable construction. The cotton warp and weft provide stability, while the woven foundation (without secondary backing) maintains flexibility for placements along corridors or between architectural features. Wool’s inherent resilience, combined with a patterned earthy palette, supports everyday practicality in moderate-traffic placements. This piece is well-suited for designers pairing organic neutrals with wood, plaster, stone, or aged metal finishes. Its elongated form visually lengthens hallways and artfully guides movement through space. A collector-grade origin, rarity rating, and high value-retention position it as both a functional textile and a preserved artifact of tribal expression. Condition: Very good for age. The selvedges and fringe finishes remain intact with no visible stains, dye run, or major structural wear. As with all naturally dyed antique rugs, professional cleaning with cautious moisture handling is recommended to preserve longevity and character.
