This Persian Hamadan runner displays a classic repeating diamond medallion pattern running vertically down the length, each medallion filled with geometric floral motifs and hooked corners. The rich red ground highlights the navy and ivory outlines, while small repeating elements like stars, rosettes, and tribal symbols fill the spaces between. Wide borders feature continuous vine scrolls and geometric fillers in matching tones to create strong framing and flow along the narrow format.
Hamadan rugs are produced in numerous villages around the Hamadan province in western Iran, known for their sturdy construction, bold geometric designs, and affordable yet durable quality. Weavers use local wool and simple yet effective patterns that emphasize symmetry and repetition, making them popular for runners and everyday use. This new piece captures the traditional style with tight knotting and a medium pile that holds up well to traffic.
A 4×10 runner like this one fits long hallways, entryways, or beside kitchen islands, adding warmth and pattern to narrow spaces. The deep red field brings energy and richness, while the navy borders provide grounding contrast against wood or tile floors. Wool ensures excellent wear resistance, comfort underfoot, and easy cleaning with regular vacuuming.
