A good Persian Heriz runner of traditional design 140 x 50 cm

Antique Handmade Persian Heriz Runner – 140 × 50 cm (4 ft 7 in × 1 ft 8 in)

Authentic Persian Craftsmanship • Traditional Tribal Design • Fine Lamb’s Wool • Narrow Hallway Runner

This charming antique handmade Persian Heriz runner is a beautiful example of the bold tribal weaving traditions of north-west Persia. Woven approximately 60–70 years ago, it displays the timeless geometric motifs and natural colour palette that have made Heriz rugs highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.

Measuring 140 × 50 cm (approximately 4 ft 7 in × 1 ft 8 in), this elegant narrow runner is ideal for a hallway, entrance, kitchen, landing, bedside or any compact space where a touch of authentic Persian craftsmanship is desired.

The field features a sequence of traditional tribal medallions surrounded by stylised geometric motifs, framed by classic Heriz borders. The beautifully balanced design is enhanced by rich natural vegetable-dyed colours that have mellowed gracefully with age, giving the runner warmth, character and a genuine lived-in appearance.

Hand knotted from fine lamb’s wool, this runner offers both softness and exceptional durability. It has been professionally hand washed, is clean and ready for immediate use, and is perfectly suited to heavy domestic use.
