Persian Mashhad Hand-Knotted Runner

£650£850In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent Persian Mashhad Hand-Knotted Runner, skillfully woven by master artisans in the historic city of Mashhad in northeast Iran. This generous runner features a luminous crimson red field brought alive by three graceful central medallions, linked by elegant scrolling vines and abundant garden flowers that flow the full length of the piece — a classic Persian design known for its warmth, movement and enduring beauty. The palette is rich and vibrant: deep red forms a wonderfully warm foundation, beautifully balanced by crisp ivory and cream medallion centres, bright turquoise and sky-blue accents, soft golden-yellow highlights, and a deep navy border that frames the design with timeless elegance. Woven from premium soft wool on a durable cotton base, the pile has a luxuriously smooth, substantial feel — softer and thicker than finer Persian weaves, exceptionally comfortable underfoot yet built to last.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 100 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 381,301 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 4 months.

How that is worked out: 118 in × 32 in × 100 knots per sq. in. ≈ 381,301 — that is 300 × 82 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
