This Hamadan antique rug measures 104 x 503 cm and has the elongated proportions of a hallway runner, though its visual interest lies in the worn softness of the weave itself. Circa 1900 - 1925, the palette settles into brown, taupe, sand, ivory, and restrained blue, with a faded central field and ghosted border details that suggest a once clearer design. The high distress level gives the surface a dry, textural character, with softened motifs and frayed edges that speak to years of use and quiet ageing. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
