Vintage Bownat Runner 199x94cm

Charming Vintage Bownat Runner – Double Medallion, Stylised Peacocks & Dogs

This charming vintage Bownat runner from South Iran is a striking example of tribal artistry. Featuring a bold double medallion design, the runner is set on a richly abrushed deep red ground, offering visual texture and depth.

Scattered across the field are stylised peacocks and dogs, motifs that reflect the personal and symbolic expressions of the tribal weaver. These animated figures are beautifully framed by a cream border decorated with stylised floral elements, lending both contrast and elegance.

Crafted using high-quality handspun wool and natural dyes, the rug boasts a full, resilient pile and a superb sheen that adds to its character and charm. The exceptional wool and dye quality ensure both softness underfoot and long-term durability.

This runner is ideal for adding colour and personality to a hallway, entryway, or narrow room, while also offering collectors a wonderful example of tribal South Iranian weaving.
