Vintage Handmade Persian Hamedan Floral Wool Runner – 360 × 100 cm

An exceptionally attractive vintage handmade Persian Hamedan runner, featuring an elegant traditional floral design, beautifully aged colours and a wonderful combination of fine craftsmanship and natural wool.

Originating from the renowned Greater Hamedan weaving region of Persia, this beautiful runner has been expertly hand-knotted using very fine lamb's wool on a strong cotton foundation.

The intricate floral pattern and pleasing old colours create a distinctive decorative appearance, making this rug an excellent choice for customers seeking an authentic Persian hallway runner with traditional character.

Measuring 360 × 100 cm (approximately 11'10" × 3'3"), it offers an attractive long and narrow proportion, particularly suitable for hallways, corridors, entrance areas and other spaces requiring an elegant handmade runner.

Approximately 50–60 years old, the rug is in good vintage condition with a good wool pile.

It has been professionally hand-washed, is ready for immediate use and is suitable for heavy domestic use.

Traditional Persian Hamedan Weaving Heritage

The Greater Hamedan region is one of Persia's historic centres of handmade carpet production, known for its extensive weaving traditions and distinctive regional designs.

Persian Hamedan rugs and runners are particularly appreciated for their practical construction, attractive decorative patterns and traditional use of natural wool.

The region encompasses a wide range of weaving communities, each contributing individual designs and interpretations of classic Persian patterns.

Traditional Hamedan weaving frequently incorporates floral and geometric ornamentation, creating rugs that combine regional character with everyday practicality.

This beautiful vintage example reflects that heritage through its elegant floral composition, fine lamb's wool and traditional hand-knotted construction.

Elegant Traditional Floral Design

One of the most appealing features of this Persian Hamedan runner is its beautiful traditional floral pattern.

The decorative floral motifs create an attractive sense of movement and continuity along the length of the runner.

This type of design is particularly suitable for hallways and corridors, where the pattern can be appreciated from different angles as you move through the space.

The intricate decoration gives the rug a rich traditional appearance without requiring a large floor area.

Its elegant floral design works beautifully with antique furniture, traditional wooden flooring and classic interiors.

It can also introduce warmth and decorative interest into a contemporary hallway with simple neutral furnishings.

Very Fine Lamb's Wool on Cotton Foundation

This Persian Hamedan runner has been traditionally hand-knotted using very fine lamb's wool on a cotton foundation.

Fine lamb's wool is appreciated for its softness, attractive texture and natural warmth.

The wool pile provides a comfortable surface, while the cotton foundation offers structural support.

The combination of skilled hand-knotting and natural materials reflects the craftsmanship associated with traditional Persian rug making.

Unlike machine-made runners, handmade Persian rugs possess individual characteristics that contribute to their distinctive appearance.

The original product specifications describe this runner as having very fine lamb's wool and a good pile, making its material quality an important selling feature.

Beautifully Aged Colours and Vintage Character

Approximately 50–60 years old, this runner has the attractive character associated with vintage handmade Persian rugs.

Its very pleasing old colours give it a warm, established appearance that complements a wide variety of interiors.

The natural ageing of a handmade rug can create a distinctive decorative quality that is difficult to reproduce in newly manufactured floor coverings.

This runner is in good condition with a good wool pile, making it particularly appealing to customers who want an older handmade rug that remains practical for everyday use.

It has been professionally hand-washed and cleaned and is ready for immediate use or display.

The runner is suitable for heavy domestic use, making it an excellent option for frequently used hallways and corridors.
