About the Item

1920s Antique Persian Hamadan Runner Size: 3'0" × 17'7" (91 × 535 cm) This exceptional antique Persian Hamadan runner from the 1920s is a striking example of the fine craftsmanship and design sensibility of early 20th-century Persian village weaving. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the rug features a lush and dense pile, providing both durability and a luxurious texture underfoot. The design is a vibrant celebration of Persian artistry. A field of interconnected diamond and floral motifs unfolds across the length of the runner in a rhythmic, symmetrical layout. Warm earth tones—including deep terracotta, camel, ivory, navy, and celadon—create a visually dynamic but balanced palette. The medallion-like figures at intervals provide a subtle sense of progression and direction along the runner. The border design is equally intricate, with richly ornamented floral bands framed by dark outlines and offset with lighter, contrasting hues. This framing draws the eye inward and enhances the central composition, all while preserving harmony in the overall layout. At 18 feet in length, this piece is ideally suited for hallways, galleries, or transitional spaces. Its elongated form, vibrant patterning, and historical character make it a perfect choice for those seeking a balance between utility and decorative refinement. Whether placed in a traditional or contemporary interior, this antique Hamadan runner offers a timeless aesthetic and a testament to Persia’s enduring textile legacy. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
