If you’re crushing on this runner, you’re not alone…it’s a tribal beauty with power, personality and presence. Woven in the 1920s in Persia, this high quality wool antique runner carries all the charm of handmade work, with variations in width (leaning 2’10 at its narrowest and stretching to 3’1 at the widest) that confirm its one-of-a-kind character.
The field features a row of bold diamond medallions filled with stylized flowers and geometry, and scattered throughout you’ll spot serrated leaves, wine cup motifs, and even little animal figures, woven in for blessing, life, and protection. These playful details give the rug its soulful individuality.
The colors are warm and rich…think madder brick, earthy rust, midnight indigo, and flashes of soft sky blue. All naturally vegetable-dyed, the wool has aged into a marbled, almost watercolor effect, with abrash that shifts tones across the runner like brushstrokes of time.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool and in great condition for its age.
The pile is still plush and slightly fluffy, with a luxurious handle and weighted presence. It’s stout, sturdy, and woven to last. The borders frame the rug with angular tribal motifs in earthy reds, blues, and ivory, giving it balance and grounding.
At a century old, this Persian runner has lived a full life and is ready to serve for generations more, bringing warmth, soul, and a slice of old-world artistry into any hallway, kitchen, or layered living space.
