Antique Shahsavan Runner 387x97cm

This exquisite antique Shahsavan runner is a rare and valuable find, reflecting the fine craftsmanship and distinctive weaving tradition of the Shahsavan tribe in northwest Iran. Unlike the more prolific weaving tribes, Shahsavan rugs are prized for their limited production and outstanding quality.

Woven from luxuriously soft, velvety wool and featuring meticulously fine knotting, this runner exemplifies the artistry that makes Shahsavan pieces so sought after by collectors. The deep indigo field creates a bold foundation for the rug’s intricate geometric patterns, which showcase tribal motifs unique to Shahsavan weaving.

The piece is framed by a graceful leaf border, adding refinement to its tribal strength. One charming feature of this runner is its gentle veer to the right at one end—an authentic detail that adds individuality and speaks to the handwoven nature of the rug.

Perfect for a hallway, gallery, or entryway, this collectible antique runner brings both character and cultural heritage into the home.
