PERSIAN HAMADAN HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUNNER, 3' 2'' X 17' 2'': This semi-antique (60-80yrs old) Hamadan runner is extremely long , yet it is straight and not bowed as so many runners tend to be. The field is a deep pink and is covered with a central row of larger flowerheads or palmettes the have other smaller leaves vines and flowers radiating out from them. The colors used are orange, medium and dark blue, ivory, beige, and yellow. The borders are small and give the effect of being a continuation of the field with only the interruption of lines to delineate them. Although this rug was used on a staircase, it doesn't show uneven wear and could find new life in a long hall or as a device to divide a large room.
CONDITION: Good condition with one area of the side that needs some repair.
