73658 Vintage Persian Kerman Rug Runner, 02'10 x 17'03.

Please note this listing is for one piece. Finding a matching pair of vintage Persian Kerman carpet runners, especially those measuring 3 x 17 feet and dating back to the 1950s, is a rare occurrence. These runners were often custom-made to fit specific spaces, making it uncommon for them to be produced in pairs with identical designs and dimensions. Over the years, many of these pairs have been separated due to various reasons such as sales, inheritance, or other circumstances, making it challenging to find both pieces together after several decades. The production of Persian Kerman rugs involves intricate hand-knotting and unique designs, meaning each piece could be slightly different even if intended as a pair. This meticulous craftsmanship and individuality further contribute to the rarity of finding a perfectly matching pair.

This matching pair of vintage Persian Kerman hallway runners, crafted meticulously from hand-knotted wool, boasts captivating features such as an ink blue floral medallion at the center, complemented by delicate floral sprays. At each end, a pale baby blue floral medallion adds a touch of elegance and symmetry to the design. The intricate detailing and vibrant color accents contribute to the overall allure of these Kerman runners, creating a visually captivating display. Enclosing each exquisite piece is a deep and elaborate border that gracefully breaks into the field, enhancing the rug's grandeur and defining its presence within any hallway or corridor. The border's intricate motifs and rich hues further accentuate the beauty of the central floral medallion, creating a harmonious and balanced composition that exudes timeless sophistication. Moreover, the preservation and condition of these rugs play a significant role in their rarity. Many rugs from the 1950s have experienced wear and tear or damage over time, making well-preserved matching pairs particularly uncommon and valuable. The fact that these runners have survived intact and in good condition adds to their uniqueness and desirability among collectors and enthusiasts. The combination of their custom size, matching design, and excellent preservation makes finding a pair of vintage Persian Kerman carpet runners from the 1950s a notable and valuable discovery, reflecting the rich history and exquisite craftsmanship of Persian rug making.
