About the Item
This antique Persian tribal runner dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and represents a classic corridor format woven for utilitarian yet expressive use. Measuring 3 ft 4 in x 7 ft 6 in (approximately 102 x 229 cm), it falls squarely within the runner size class. The rug is executed as a flatweave rather than a piled carpet, using wool for both warp and weft, and reflects traditional Persian tribal weaving practices of the period. Its light weight and thin profile are characteristic of antique kilim-style runners intended for passageways and transitional spaces.
The design is organized in horizontal banded stripes, with no central medallion and no enclosing border in the conventional sense. Instead, narrow guard-like stripes divide broader pattern bands, creating a dense, rhythmic visual cadence. Motifs include stepped diamonds, hooked lozenges, small crosses, triangles, and latch-hook forms rendered in a highly stylized, rectilinear manner. The dominant deep madder red ground is balanced by dark forest green, brownish black, ivory beige, and restrained accents of amber gold and soft white, producing strong contrast within a cohesive warm palette.
Woven as a tapestry flatweave, this runner has no pile and a thickness of essentially zero, giving it a flexible handle with moderate drape. The structure is stable and durable, with a woven foundation and intact selvedges. With a durability score suitable for regular foot traffic, it performs especially well in hallways, entries, and circulation zones when paired with a proper non-slip pad.
For professional interiors, this runner offers strong value as a character-rich accent in both traditional and eclectic schemes. Its saturated reds and tribal geometry pair naturally with wood floors, neutral walls, and layered textile environments, while the narrow scale works well in corridors, kitchens, home offices, and gallery-style installations. As a rare, one-of-a-kind antique with high value retention, it also supports collectible-oriented design projects.
Condition is best described as very good antique condition. The flatweave structure is sound, with no repairs, no moth damage, and no visible staining or color run. Wear is consistent with age and use, contributing to overall tonal harmony rather than detracting from integrity. Original fringe remains intact, and routine care should involve gentle vacuuming and cautious, low-moisture cleaning only.
