This 4’2” x 13’3” hand-knotted Joshaghan Persian runner is a striking example of traditional craftsmanship, woven from 100% wool. Its elongated design is perfect for hallways or entryways, and the deep red field immediately draws the eye. The rug features a repeating diamond lattice of intricate geometric and floral motifs, a hallmark of the Joshaghan weaving style, which combines symmetry with vibrant, meticulous detail. Hand-knotted construction gives it exceptional durability, ensuring it can withstand high-traffic areas while maintaining its beauty.
The central design showcases a series of nested medallions with scattered floral patterns in shades of blue, ivory, green, and burgundy, creating a balanced and harmonious appearance. The surrounding motifs add movement and texture, while the rug’s colors shift subtly depending on the angle of the light, a feature unique to fine wool pile. Each knot is tied with precision, reflecting the skill of artisans from the Joshaghan region of Iran, where rug weaving has been a centuries-old tradition.
Framed by a classic multi-layered border, the rug’s edges feature alternating floral and vine patterns that provide contrast to the bold central field. This framing not only enhances visual depth but also gives the piece a clear, structured finish. The fringed ends at each side add a touch of authenticity and an elegant nod to its handmade origins, emphasizing its traditional Persian character.
Timeless and versatile, this Joshaghan runner is as much a work of art as it is a functional flooring piece. Its durable wool construction and dense knotting allow it to age gracefully, developing a soft sheen over time. Whether displayed in a hallway, alongside a staircase, or in an entry corridor, this 4’2” x 13’3” Persian runner provides warmth, cultural richness, and a touch of luxury to any interior setting.
