Vintage Striped Ivory And Charcoal Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Persian BB8249 2'1" × 14'1" $9,000

Bold in simplicity and rich in character, this vintage Persian Kilim runner from the 1960s captures the enduring appeal of tribal craftsmanship. Handwoven with natural wool in Iran, the rug features a rhythmic pattern of alternating dark brown and cream horizontal stripes. Each stripe carries subtle tonal variation and texture, a hallmark of authentic hand-loomed kilims.

The flatweave construction enhances the rug’s durability and lightweight feel, making it ideal for high-traffic hallways, kitchens, or modern minimalist interiors. The earthy palette of undyed wool reflects the organic materials traditionally used by nomadic weavers, while the minimal design speaks to a timeless, utilitarian aesthetic.

Slight irregularities in weave and color give this piece a sense of handmade charm and historical authenticity, connecting it to a broader tradition of Persian village weaving. Whether layered over hardwood floors or styled alongside contemporary furnishings, this runner offers a warm, grounded presence with its understated yet striking graphic pattern.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
