A N.W. Persian wool runner with a rust-red field and connected cream medallions, 117 x 409 cm. The elongated proportions present a rhythmic chain of geometric star centres and angular motifs, set within narrow multi-band borders. Soft neutral tones and navy accents temper the palette; subtle abrash and minimal wear give a tactile, timeworn surface while maintaining pattern clarity. The wool retains a lively hand and the composition reads with regional restraint and craft-forward presence. This antique rug carries a quiet, medallion-centred geometry that feels both historic and immediate. Circa 1895 - 1920
