This antique Persian runner from Northwest Iran features a beautifully balanced sequence of diamond medallions set against a warm coral field. The elongated layout is framed by finely detailed borders that enhance the rug’s rhythm and guide the eye along its length, a hallmark of classic Persian runner design.
The color palette is especially appealing, with coral tones forming the foundation and subtle greens, ivory, and muted blues adding depth and contrast. Small geometric and floral motifs are evenly distributed throughout the field, reflecting the precision and visual harmony typical of regional tribal weaving traditions.
Hand-knotted entirely from wool, including its foundation, this runner offers excellent durability and a substantial, authentic feel. The tight knotting allows for crisp definition of the medallions and border details while preserving the softness expected from well-aged Persian wool.
A notable and rare detail of this rug is the woven date visible in the upper left corner of the border, reading year 1295 in the Islamic calendar—adding historical significance and collector appeal. Ideal for hallways, gallery spaces, or long corridors, this runner brings warmth, heritage, and timeless character to refined interiors.
