Originating from a village surrounding Hamadan around 1920, this Persian runner rug combines wool and cotton construction with a hand-knotted finish. The rich terracotta field displays a repeating sequence of geometric medallions in green, gold, and white, flanked by deep indigo patterned borders decorated with pink and cream floral motifs. Additional details include secure fringed ends and neatly bound selvedges, showing light, age-related wear with a slightly heavier patch in one small spot. Measuring 404 cm high by 84 cm wide with a 1 cm depth, the piece spans a long rectangular format suited to corridors, hallways, or narrow passages. Positioned in an English Country House interior scheme, the floor covering works well along wood-floored hallways, entryways, or narrow landings to introduce warmth and traditional pattern. The heavy wool pile provides underfoot comfort in high-traffic domestic areas, while the linear geometry complements both period architecture and classic furniture arrangements. Maintenance involves standard wool rug care routines, such as regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar to protect the fibres and secure edges.

FAQs

Hamadan rugs originate from the city of Hamadan and its surrounding villages in western Iran, one of the oldest rug-weaving centers in Persia. Weavers in this region produced durable carpets featuring tribal geometric motifs, medallion designs, and vibrant field colours intended for daily household use and trade.

Hamadan rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven on a sturdy cotton warp and weft foundation. They typically utilise single-weft construction and symmetrical knots, resulting in a thick, resilient texture suited to high-traffic areas.

Authentic Hamadan runners can be identified by their flexible cotton foundation, single-weft weave structure, and slight variations in pattern alignment caused by hand-loom weaving. The wool pile often displays rich tonal variations from natural dyes alongside geometric angular medallions.

A long Persian runner provides anchor and colour when positioned down narrow hallways, entrance corridors, or alongside kitchen islands. Pairing traditional hand-woven wool carpets with neutral timber flooring creates textural contrast and warmth across classic and contemporary spaces.

Preserve a wool runner by vacuuming regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling fibers. Place a quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and wear, and consult a professional rug restorer for periodic deep cleaning.
