Product Description
About This Hashtrood Rug
This exceptional 14'0" x 3'10" Hashtrood runner showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from Azerbaijan's renowned rug-making region. Dating back 40-60 years, this semi-antique treasure displays the characteristic medallion (Toranj) and geometric patterns that have defined Hashtrood craftsmanship for generations. The elongated format makes it perfect for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a dramatic accent beneath a dining table, where its impressive length creates visual flow and architectural interest.
The historical Hashtrood region, nestled in Azerbaijan's mountainous landscape, has been producing distinctive Persian rugs since the medieval period. Local artisans developed their own interpretation of classical Persian motifs, blending tribal nomadic influences with sophisticated geometric designs. This particular runner exemplifies that heritage, featuring intricate medallion patterns that seem to dance across the field, creating rhythmic movement that draws the eye along its considerable length. The geometric borders frame the composition with mathematical precision, showcasing the weaver's technical mastery.
Rich burgundy and deep red dominate the color palette, punctuated by vibrant burnt orange and warm ochre that add luminous depth to the design. Navy blue accents provide sophisticated contrast, while touches of forest green and dramatic black create visual anchors throughout the composition. These earth-toned hues were achieved using traditional Persian dyeing techniques, resulting in colors that have mellowed beautifully over decades of use, creating the warm patina that makes semi-antique rugs so coveted.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its authentic Persian heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. The natural wool pile, woven on a sturdy cotton foundation using both symmetrical and asymmetrical knots, ensures durability that will last for generations. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this remarkable Hashtrood runner, where traditional Persian weaving meets contemporary interior design needs, transforming narrow spaces into galleries of authentic cultural artistry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Hashtrood rug genuinely hand-knotted?
Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Azerbaijan, Persia. It is not machine-made, hand-tufted, or hand-hooked. The knot structure is clearly visible on the reverse side of the rug, confirming its authentic hand-knotted construction.
What does the age classification mean for this Hashtrood rug?
This Hashtrood rug is classified as antique, meaning it is 100 years old or more. By international convention and U.S. Customs standards, a rug must be at least 100 years old to qualify as antique. Antique Persian rugs are the most prized category among collectors, valued for their historical significance, natural dye patina, aged wool softness, rarity, and the way their colors have mellowed and deepened beautifully over a century or more of careful use.
Where does the Hashtrood rug originate?
This Hashtrood rug originates from Azerbaijan, Persia. The Azerbaijan region has a long and distinguished history of rug weaving, with local artisans developing their own distinctive design vocabulary, color traditions, and technical approaches that set their rugs apart from other Persian weaving centers. The village rug category from this region is particularly known for its medallion (toranj), geometric, tribal and nomadic design traditions.
What knot type was used to weave this Hashtrood rug?
This Hashtrood rug was woven using both the asymmetrical Persian (Senneh) knot and the symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knot. The asymmetrical Persian knot, which wraps around one warp thread, allows for finer curvilinear design detail. The symmetrical Turkish knot, which wraps around two warp threads, produces a more robust pile. The use of both techniques reflects the weaver's mastery and adaptability within the regional weaving tradition.
Is this rug one of a kind?
Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. As an authentic hand-knotted Persian rug, no two examples are identical. Only one of this exact rug is available in our collection. Once sold, this specific piece cannot be reordered or replicated. Every hand-knotted Persian rug is a unique artifact of its weaver's skill, materials, and creative expression.
Does this rug come with a Certificate of Authenticity?

This certificate is accepted by major U.S. insurance providers and supports resale, estate, and auction documentation.
How do I care for this wool rug?
Vacuum gently without a beater bar once a week in the direction of the pile. Rotate the rug every 6 to 12 months to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth without rubbing.
