Crimson Mina-Khani Runner — 2’8” x 13’4”1940s–1960s

Hand-knotted Northwest Persian (Malayer/Kurdish) village runner, c. 1940s–1960s, wool pile . An allover Mina-Khani (“meadow flowers”) lattice blooms across a madder-red field, framed by a navy border with small rosettes and latch-hook details. Touches of teal, sky, camel, and butter enliven the pattern, while natural abrash (those gentle tonal shifts) and a time-softened, tea-wash patina toward one end give it that true-vintage character you can’t fake.

Condition: even low/medium pile; age-appropriate wear; secure ends/edges; lies flat.

Style notes: a long, graceful line for hallways, kitchens, and entries—pairs beautifully with stone, oak, and painted floors
