Vintage Striped Light Beige With Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Persian BB8715 2'3" × 14'7" $8,000

This vintage Persian kilim runner is a flatwoven piece with a calm, highly usable presence, made in Persia during the vintage period. Its long, narrow format and restrained palette give it the easy elegance of a corridor rug, suited to interiors that value texture over ornament. Its elongated composition works naturally in passages and transitional spaces.

The design is intentionally spare: an open light beige field is layered with soft horizontal banding in cream, sand beige, and muted taupe. Rather than a strict border or medallion, the surface reads as tonal striations and gentle abrash-like shifts, creating movement that remains quiet and organic.

That understated rhythm makes the rug especially versatile. It can soften a hallway, connect adjoining rooms, or bring warmth to contemporary, Scandinavian, wabi-sabi, and rustic schemes without competing with architecture or furnishings. It brings a tailored softness to minimalist homes and layered traditional schemes alike, resulting in a vintage Persian runner that feels tactile, serene, and quietly architectural underfoot.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
