Persian Meshkin Runner Rug Hand Knotted Wool Red Geometric 314 x 113cm

A characterful Persian Meshkin runner, hand knotted in wool and originating from northwest Iran, a region known for its bold village weaving traditions closely related to Heriz and Karaja carpets.

The design is built around a sequence of geometric medallions running along a rich red field, interspersed with stylised floral and angular motifs. The drawing is expressive and slightly irregular, giving the piece a strong sense of authenticity and individuality, typical of village production rather than formal workshop weaving.

The border, rendered in warm brown tones with repeating geometric devices, frames the composition and anchors the more vibrant central field. The palette combines deep madder red, soft blues, greens, and dark outlines, creating contrast while maintaining a cohesive and traditional aesthetic.

This is a robust and decorative runner with real presence—well suited to hallways or longer spaces where a more traditional Persian character is desired. Unlike softer Ziegler-style carpets, this piece retains a stronger, more architectural tribal influence.
