Vintage Striped Ivory And Charcoal Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Persian BB8250 2'1" × 14'2" $9,000

Vintage Persian kilim runner from Persia, handwoven in a flatweave tradition that favors clarity, utility, and easy movement through the home.

Broad horizontal bands alternate between ivory and deep charcoal-brown, creating a calm graphic rhythm that feels both tribal and modern. The composition is entirely allover, with no central medallion or enclosing border, so the runner reads as pure stripe and negative space. Its slightly irregular edges and subtle tonal shifts bring out the handmade character of the weave, while the restrained palette keeps the design versatile. The result is a piece that feels pared back yet grounded, with the quiet confidence of village craftsmanship.

This kind of Persian runner works beautifully in hallways, entries, kitchens, or anywhere an architectural line is needed. The kilim construction gives the rug a lighter, more flexible presence than a knotted carpet, making its understated pattern and tactile surface especially appealing in contemporary, minimalist, or layered interiors. Woven in wool, it offers a practical and decorative balance that suits daily living.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
