Hamadan / 11622

A long Hamadan wool runner, 79 x 500 cm, set on a warm cream ground with a repeating chain of rosettes and stylised leaf sprays. Slate-grey foliage and brown outlines are warmed by rust accents; the centre is framed by narrow guard borders and a broader angular outer border. The wool pile displays low, even wear and a soft hand, colours retaining clarity with delicate abrash that suggests age. The measured repeat and considered motifs reflect a heritage-aware provincial aesthetic. This antique rug carries a quiet graphic presence and tactile poise. Circa 1900 - 1920
