Hallway Runner Rugs (3.04ft x 8.08ft), Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional, hand-knotted wool piece exemplifies the enduring legacy of Iranian / Persian rugs. Crafted in the early 20th century, this textile showcases a sophisticated use of traditional nomadic motifs rendered in a dense, durable pile, characteristic of high-quality antique rugs.

The composition features a striking allover design where repeating diamond medallions create a continuous lattice across the field. This geometric density is skillfully contained by multiple narrow guard borders, which utilize contrasting colors and smaller triangular motifs to frame the central panel. The meticulous hand-knotted construction ensures both longevity and a rich, tactile texture underfoot.

The palette is a masterful display of rich, saturated hues, utilizing deep reds, earthy browns, and striking indigo blues, creating a stunning array of multicolor jewel tones. The wool pile absorbs and reflects light beautifully, highlighting the subtle variations inherent in the natural dyes used by the weavers of this region.

Designed in a long, narrow format, this piece is perfectly suited as a distinguished hallway runner. Its robust construction and captivating visual rhythm make it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas, offering both historical depth and functional elegance to any contemporary or traditional interior space.
