On the Design:

The warm spirit of a sun-drenched garden comes alive on a striking field of rich, earthy brown and terracotta, which serves as a narrow, vertical canvas for an exuberant array of pictorial floral motifs.

The design is dominated by large, vertical stems that rhythmically climb the length of the runner, bursting with simplified tulips, leaves, and berries. Each element is rendered in bright, highly saturated polychromatic colors—including vivid pinks, cool teals, bright yellows, and greens—which stand out dramatically against the muted brown ground.

A delicate, hand-stitched vine border frames the composition, reinforcing the piece's charming, folk-art energy.

Admirers of the craft will particularly admire how the lively placement of the florals against the seamless field lends the piece a sense of unrestrained, imaginative motion.

The unique execution of this runner—a handwoven wool foundation meticulously patterned with rich color—creates a beautiful textural rhythm.

This layered structure allows the figures to emerge clearly from the base, distinguishing the style as a vibrant work of folk art that is a warm and welcoming choice for long, narrow spaces. See less
