Antique Hamadan Persian Runner Rug 8'6" Geometric Medallion

Authentic antique Persian Hamadan runner rug from the early 20th century (first quarter), featuring a bold sequence of stepped diamond medallions across a rich rust-red field. The design is framed by angular borders with stylized florals and tribal motifs in deep indigo, ivory, and soft gold tones. Hand-knotted in wool at approximately 17 x 16 knots per inch (about 272 KPSI), this piece reflects the durable village weaving tradition typical of Hamadan rugs from Iran.

Though heavily worn, the rug retains strong visual character and an unmistakable antique presence. Its graphic pattern and authentic age make it appealing to collectors, designers seeking a distressed aesthetic, or buyers interested in restoration or repurposing.

Condition:

Wear to the selvedges (requiring rebinding), absent fringe, and losses to both ends and sides are present. Some color bleed noted. No odors or stains detected.
