Antique Shahsavan Runner 321x109cm

This splendid antique Shahsavan runner is a vibrant and richly woven example of tribal craftsmanship from northwest Iran. Known for their bold graphics and lively palettes, Shahsavan weavings like this one are cherished for their charm, symbolism, and rustic elegance.

The rug features a beautiful red field, deeply saturated and warm, acting as a vivid canvas for a line of multiple central medallions. Scattered throughout the field are charming tribal motifs, likely representing protection, fertility, or nature—each adding personality and a sense of movement to the piece.

It is framed with multiple narrow geometric borders, classic to Shahsavan design, which give structure and rhythm to the layout. These borders complement the energy of the field while balancing its color and form.

While the runner has a slight bend, it only enhances its authenticity and character, a common and even desirable trait in antique tribal rugs that were handwoven on portable looms by nomadic weavers.

Perfect for hallways, entryways, or narrow transitional spaces, this colourful and characterful runner will instantly brighten and personalize any setting.
