With deep, grounding tones of espresso, burnt sienna, and flashes of golden amber, the Struck Gold Runner feels like a treasure unearthed. A series of bold geometric medallions runs the length of the piece, framed by intricate tribal motifs and delicate symbols. Its long, narrow silhouette makes it ideal for hallways, kitchens, or layered alongside a bed—bringing warmth, richness, and story to every step.

This runner is a vintage Persian village rug, likely from the Hamadan region in western Iran, where countless rural villages have maintained centuries-old weaving traditions. The striking central medallions and stepped diamond forms, paired with symbolic motifs such as stars, hourglasses, and flowers, are signature features of tribal and nomadic designs from the region.

• Hamadan rugs are known for their durable wool, bold colors, and straightforward symmetry—designed more for daily use than for show, which makes them enduring and authentic.

• The rich brown-black ground was traditionally dyed with walnut husks or iron-rich earth, while the amber and rust tones come from natural madder root and pomegranate rind.

• These runners were often made for personal use in long family homes or tents, not for export—giving them an honest, lived-in quality that collectors prize.

This piece likely dates to the mid-20th century, woven on a wool foundation with vegetal dyes and hand-knotting that speaks to generations of passed-down skill.
