Satranji runner, 3x10 (3'5" x 9'10"), hand-knotted wool, from Afghanistan. In stock at Rugistan® in Evanston, with free insured U.S. shipping. Allover Satranji (chessboard) pattern of diamond panels in navy blue, ivory, red and teal, about 0.35" thick. Hand-selected on our sourcing trips to Afghanistan. We are happy to send natural daylight photos or a short video on request.
Where it fits: Runner size: a hallway, a galley kitchen, the length of a bed, or a landing. This page offers a Durahold Plus premium rug pad, custom cut to this rug's size.
Care | Try at home | Free shipping: Vacuum without the beater bar and turn it end to end once or twice a year so it wears evenly. When it needs washing, have it cleaned by a professional rug cleaner, never with a carpet shampooer. One of a kind. Take it home on approval from our Rugistan® Evanston or Chicago showroom, or order it with free insured U.S. shipping and 30-day returns.
Rugs ship free anywhere in the contiguous United States, carefully packed. Orders go out the same or next business day and you get tracking by email. Alaska, Hawaii and international: many rugs still ship free as a courtesy; the line under the price says whether this one does where you are.
In Chicago, Evanston and the North Shore, take this rug home on approval from either showroom and live with it before you decide. Free local delivery within 30 miles of Chicago on orders over $500.
Not right in your room? Return it within 30 days of delivery, in the condition it arrived, or bring it to either showroom. A restocking fee of up to 15% may apply to change-of-mind returns; details are in the return policy.
Prices are marked on every rug. Find the same handmade rug for less at a legitimate seller and we match it.
Every handmade rug we sell is guaranteed for life to be authentic and of the quality described: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials in its listing. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
This rug was woven on a loom inside a family’s own home, most often by women, one knot at a time. A rug this size takes two to three months to weave, which means steady income for a family in a country where paying work is scarce. We buy directly from weaving families and workshops we know, with no factories and no middlemen.
Rugistan® was founded in 2021 by Shams Frough. He served five years alongside U.S. forces as an interpreter in his native Afghanistan, then made Chicago home, where he put himself through college and is still studying today.
Shams and his wife run Rugistan® together, with showrooms in Evanston and Chicago. He still travels to the weaving regions himself and buys most of our rugs in person, from the families and workshops who make them. That's how we keep our prices fair. We also clean and repair handmade rugs.
What people mention most: honest prices, no pressure, and taking rugs home on approval before buying.
Works beautifully with: crisp white or soft gray walls, light oak or whitewashed floors, cream, camel or rust upholstery, natural linen.
Go easy on: cool blue-gray walls with a cool floor, which can make the room feel cold.

Most of our handmade rugs are one of a kind. If the listing says one in stock, this is the only one, and it is on our floor in Chicago or Evanston until it sells.
Yes. Visit either showroom, take it home on approval, or ask us for a FaceTime or video walk-around so you see the colors in daylight before we ship.
Yes. Like every handmade rug we sell, it carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity and quality. It is what this listing says it is: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials described. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
The exact size is listed above. For a living room, leave about 18 inches of floor around the rug and keep the front legs of the sofa on it. Chat or text us your room measurements and we will tell you honestly if it fits.
Every rug page has a box to add a Durahold Plus pad custom cut to the rug, so the two can arrive together.
Free insured U.S. shipping on every rug in the continental U.S. Online orders can be returned within 30 days in the condition received; a restocking fee of up to 15% may apply to change-of-mind returns. Pack the rug the way it arrived, in its original packaging or in plastic.
It measures 3'5" x 9'10" (104 x 300 cm), not including the fringe. Handmade rugs can vary slightly from end to end.
Vacuum without the beater bar and blot spills right away. A hand-knotted rug should always be cleaned professionally, never in the home. Rugistan® hand-washes and repairs rugs at both showrooms.
