This Hamadan nomadic runner, handwoven in the north-western region of Iran, exemplifies the area’s rich textile heritage. Crafted from high-quality wool on a cotton warp, it features a dense, low pile with a knot count of approximately 200,000 knots per square meter and a thickness of around 9 mm. The central field is adorned with repeating geometric diamond motifs on an ivory base, accented by deep navy and softer hues of red and beige. Wide borders in intense indigo and carmine red showcase bold geometric designs, complemented by stylized rosette and candlestick-like symbols at the ends and corners. The edges are hand-knotted, and the use of natural dyes gives the colors a nuanced patina and depth. The rug is in very good vintage condition, with only authentic, gentle signs of age on the fringes and selvedges—without significant repairs or visible damage.The ornamental patterning and honest materials of this Hamadan runner tell a story from early 20th-century Persia—of nomadic tribes whose daily journeys were woven into each thread, and whose geometric symbols encapsulated ideas of belonging and protection. The blend of creamy ivory, deep navy, and carmine red recalls the enduring legacy of Persian workshops,
