Welcome to The Persian Knot Gallery

Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World

$1,500.00

This vibrant vintage American rag runner is a striking example of early American textile artistry and sustainable craftsmanship. Flat-woven in a bold stripe pattern, it features an expressive palette of pink, blue, green, yellow, red, brown, and gray—each hue contributing to its warm, rustic character and one-of-a-kind appeal.

The runner is crafted from repurposed vintage American textiles, an early form of recycling that reflects a long-standing tradition of resourcefulness and creative reuse. This technique was widely embraced in 19th-century New England and by African American communities in the Southern United States—most famously seen in the Gee’s Bend quilts of Alabama. These historical references give the piece a sense of authenticity and cultural significance, turning a simple floor covering into a storytelling element.

Perfect for hallways, entryways, or layered under contemporary furnishings, this runner complements both rustic and modern interiors while celebrating the legacy of sustainable American design.
