About the Item
1900s Persian Camel Hair Runner
Size: 3'8" × 7'8" (111 × 233 cm)
This early 20th-century Persian runner is a stellar example of rustic tribal craftsmanship, woven with undyed camel hair and soft natural wool. Its sandy-beige field is a hallmark of camel hair rugs and offers a subdued backdrop for the sharp geometric medallions and motifs in terracotta, dark chocolate brown, and cerulean blue.
The design centers around three prominent diamond-shaped medallions, symmetrically aligned and filled with abstract floral and vegetal elements. Angular corner spandrels echo the main motifs, balancing the composition. Around the central field, a series of intricate borders unfold: a thin inner guard stripe, a richly decorated main border with stylized vine scrolls, and a distinct outer border composed of alternating diamond motifs.
Tiny animal-like and botanical shapes scattered throughout the field offer whimsical surprises typical of village weaving traditions. The runner displays a bold personality while retaining a natural elegance, thanks to its organic color palette and handwoven texture.
Despite some visible signs of wear and patina, this piece maintains its structural integrity and visual appeal. It’s a versatile and character-rich textile perfect for rustic, bohemian, or eclectic interiors.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
