The meticulous geometric chevron pattern created through the defined play of red and blue in the field juxtaposes the gentler meandering patterns within, a soft and meticulous complement to the rich and sheen golden-brown background transitioning gracefully into the various intricate borders. Those same borders, sporting varied symbolism such as the notable ram’s horn—widely believed to symbolize strength and protection in Oriental rug interpretations—create a dimensionality through their reserved finesse, lending a sense of movement and highlighting the many intricacies worth celebrating in a subtly rare Persian runner as this vintage Baluch rug enjoys. Well-suited in 3x7 size to hallways, entryways, and various other projects. See less
