Description
SPECS

This Qaradagh runner draws its character from an earthy palette and a succession of angular medallions. Ochre and brown give the field warmth, while blue details introduce a cooler note. The colours sit close enough together to create a settled overall impression, with pale outlines helping the central forms remain distinct.

Look along its length and you can follow the movement from one larger motif to the next through the smaller connecting details. The surrounding field is richly worked, so the medallions feel embedded within the pattern. Several border bands add another scale of drawing, making the edges rewarding to examine as well as the centre.

At nearly eleven feet long, it could lend continuity to a hallway with several doorways or furnish a long, open strip beside a bed. Its ochre and brown tones would be sympathetic to aged timber, tan leather or warm off-white walls. A little blue elsewhere in the space could draw attention to the cooler details within the weaving.

Qaradagh is a historical weaving region of Iranian Azerbaijan. Nineteenth-century accounts already recorded carpet production there, while later scholarship describes connections among the region's Kurdish and Shahsevan weaving traditions and those of neighbouring areas. It is a landscape of overlapping design vocabularies, where geometric drawing has taken many forms. This runner's sequence of angular medallions offers its own expression of that regional character, with muted colour giving the larger shapes a measured, unhurried rhythm.

Please Consider

Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.

We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.

We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.

Sustainability

For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.

Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan, reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.

Spills

If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.

Professional Rug Cleaning

It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!

Rug Pads

Using a rug pad with your vintage rug may extend its life and provide extra traction and protection for your floors. To learn more about the pros and cons of rug pads, read this article.
