Handmade Persian Karajeh Runner – 285 × 75 cm -9ft x 2'6ft
This beautiful handmade Persian Karajeh runner is an outstanding example of traditional village weaving, celebrated for its bold geometric designs, exceptional durability and timeless decorative appeal.

Woven from fine hand-spun lamb’s wool and coloured using natural dyes, the runner possesses the warmth, character and subtle colour variation that distinguish authentic handmade Persian village rugs. Its rich palette will continue to develop beautifully with age, adding depth and individuality to the piece.
Designed for heavy domestic use, this runner combines decorative beauty with outstanding durability, making it equally suitable for period homes and contemporary interiors.
