Hamadan / 11623

A narrow Hamadan runner in wool, 2' 5" x 21' 9", defined by a repeating linear medallion and restrained rosette motifs across a pale ground. Brown and cream registers create a quiet contrast while stylised foliate elements lend geometric rhythm. The surface shows medium wear with gentle abrash that softens the field and a modest loss at the ends; borders remain legible and frame the repeat with steady definition. The tactile patina and measured patterning speak to long use and careful making. This antique rug carries a composed, storied presence. Circa 1900 - 1920
