Hamadan / 11527

An elongated Hamadan runner in wool, this antique rug holds a disciplined, repeating lattice of angular floral guls across a deep blue field softened by cream and neutral highlights. The 3' 5" x 16' 5" proportions emphasize its narrow, rhythmic sequence of medallions and restrained palmette borders. Wear is low and the surface retains an even pile with gentle abrash and softly worn edges that read as patina. Tactile and composed, the piece balances graphic repeat with a warm, muted color palette. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
